Deep Purple 530 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 1 hour ago, ex Elly said: Correct. A lot of Peter Lester's commentary is good, but he got that wrong. The shift came out of Cheltenham (the right), not Ngapipi (the left). Yeah, wasn't listening to the TVNZ dribble but when I saw the comments about Hobson Bay and Ngapipi I wondered what the hell does that have to do with wind coming around the north side of North Head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 697 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The boundary seems to be a fast,you can use it to your advantage as did etnz just after the start yesterday,LR was forced to let them out but my way of thinking ,you got in to that position you work out how to get out of that situation. Would of thought by deliberately sailing to the boundary and forcing LR to give room ,etnz should of coped a penalty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The boat closest to the obstruction is entitled to room to tack, the other boat can choose to tack or go behind them. Rule 21 iirc??!? And yes when normal slow racing you can still use this to your advantage. Just FYI, the normal slow rules are upwind only and boat calling for room-to-tack must be close-hauled. But for AC they have modified it to include downwind. The obstruction can also be a 3rd boat on Starboard - making for some fun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
