- Front row seat for the 2024 J24 US Championships regatta day 2 race 1. A 25 degree shift hits the fleet just before the start. See how some skippers reacted and who came out ahead!
Should have blew a horn and postponed until the RC straightened out the course. When every boat tacks onto port at the start, something is wrong.
I would agree that this is very atypical. Good Q for the PRO and for this situation in general. Thanks for watching!
Wasn’t that slow mo already?
Ya this was all relatively light air, but just even a moments hesitation made a big difference
Haha, thats what i thought too
That is called LAKE SAILING. We deal with that every day. What about the 2 Starboard tack boats rubbing before the horn?
@@mjones-5846 yes..this is common on the lake. I was not aware of any protests here…perhaps a penalty turn occurred but I don’t recall any. I will go look at the raw footage!
I will create a graphics free version
coming soon
Get the graphics off the screen so I can see what is happening, thanks.
coming soon. It will have some context at the beginning because most viewers are not racers but I'll have a version which plays it back real time, no graphics on the screen
that's unacceptable for a National Regatta. AP up and reset the start line
Not being the RC...i cant make an opinion on this but welcome your input. Thanks for watching
Holy crap
❤
4738 should have stayed on starboard till she had forced half the fleet to duck her, then tack onto port.
Good insight. I have this same start from another camera that ill put in another video rhat could give us some more context. Thanks for watching!
4738 was not going to lay the pin end of the line
What’s so crazy about that? Clickbait.
race judges usually set a race start so that it is perpendicular to the wind and first windward mark. In this case, a 40 degree wind shift occurred about 10 seconds before the start which made the right of way disadvantaged port tack the favored way to start. Some of the boats pick up on this change and adapted to it and tacked and started on that disadvantaged tack (where they would have to give way to other boats) and others held to the conventional wisdom to always start on starboard tack. The boats that adapted to port tack, that included the race winner who ended up being a winner of the regatta and the North American champion for the class, was one of the ones which quickly adapted to the port tack start. There was a lot of discussion with the race participants that the start should have been abandoned and restarted.
