It is much better to think about these situations at home... rather then REACT to what you think or remember with a boat under your control at 12 knots.
Excellent point. That's exactly why we need to have these discussions here. Then we'll know what to do when we get into similar incidents out on the racecourse. I'm kind of surprised that noone has yet asked how Artemis could have avoided this situation.
What Team Artemis
should have done, was pinch up
before she got near the mark, and scrape Groupe Edmond off at the bouy.
Know the rules, forsee a problem coming, and plan to aovid the situation before it forms.
