It was certainly amicable. I think I actually fouled him because I think I hit his shroud with my tiller extension (or did he foul me? who knows, but don't tell his crew about it ). I think I replied to him that we should discuss later. I appreciated the chance to talk to Jake about it at dinner with a few beers. Hell, I was just happy that we beat him a few times over the three days!!!

I guess what you could gain in this scenario is forcing them over early, forcing them to tack, or putting them in irons right before the start. Trick would be to not go into irons yourself when attempting it. Imagine that, and the reputation you would gain if you perfected that technique!!!

great discussion.
