Very good videos indeed!! Finally someone who explains it slowly!!!! Very good!!!🙂 In all other videos on this topic, everything is told at the usual RUclips speed. You can't learn it that way. I wish you could explain the overlap with an over 90 degrees and Impossible the wide range of rules for matchracing👍
The stb boat could have luffed (while still on stb) forcing the port boat to also gybe onto stb - becoming a windward/leeward situation - as a way to give him the message to "go away, give me more room" OR; - the stb boat could have taken the port boat onwards for a considerable distance in the wrong direction (I had someone do this to me in a world championships while all the boats behind went on around the mark and we both lost many many places and distance). The inside boat has both stb rights and buoy room rights and doesn't have to go around the mark ("proper course" does not apply).
Exactly! I almost always avoid getting into a situation with other boats if possible. Fighting with one boat out of the whole fleet is the best way to get into last place.
Both vessels should have avoided each other, because no one was getting any prize money anyhow. Too many 'hot dogs' out there crashing boats for zero gain.
It was not possible for the inside boat to turn without its stern going across. The stern needs room to swing across when the rudder is put over. The inside boat was crowded too close by the outside port tack boat. Avoiding contact was not possible unless the stb boat kept going straight.

I love what you’re doing here!
Right on. I see so many boats arguing pathetic technicalities. Try match racing, which is all about exercising right of way.
