2 thoughts on the spray
1. At about 10 minutes in there is gaff schooner in the background that is throwing up what looks like more spray Blind Date, even though there are no white caps. Not sure what would cause that, but doesn't appear to be unique to Blind Date
2. The spray seems to come from 2 places - the bow where it is blown to leeward without seeming to annoy the crew and the rudder support which seems to generate all the spray over the net. Not sure why the rudder generates so much spray, perhaps it is too low down.
Best regards
