Sont proches les bateaux

Plusieurs types de voilier.

Brilliant. Where do you race from ?

Historically ive seen the drama when there is a misunderstanding about whether there is overlap or not...or a misunderstanding between the meaning and differwnce between mark room and 'right of way' seems like it is fundamentally understoos in this fleet

I mean, I’m protesting for sure… Genoa luffed for a while on the starboard boat, pretty clear he had to avoid

Que tendría que haber echo el barco que está amurado a estribor para evitar que el otro lo adelante??

Ils lui ont quand même grillé la priorité.

Phew! I got all emotional watching that. The skill. The calm demeanor everyone put forth. Masters of their craft. Very cool to see

High risk. High reward

Damn stole that breeze like a villain!😮😂

No one seems to be wearing a life jacket?

The ole mctwist sail for 360* of wind

Beautiful.

Cheesy Muzak 😂

And in the j80..you are probably going 2+X times faster than most of them too

*ships, not fleets

So nice

Nice job with a polite “protest” yell and flag deployment.

The J80 needs to establish the overlap before entering the mark zone. (normally 3 boat lengths). At this point the J80 needs to call for room at the mark. From the video it is not clear when the overlap was established. The J80 was overtaking boat. If the J80 established overlap inside the zone then he was not entitled to room.

We’ve had a lot of that light air too this time of year.

quite an eclectic group of boats!

Hopefully it doesn’t shift and go to 50 knts!

I got protested once and lost! Was so shocked. Def though I was right

Good montage!

Interesting sky and clouds that explains the issue.

I've never seen something worst than racing with the motor at the aft.

Love the port tack start, in the correct situation.

Sure is an awful feeling watching that starting to happen and then realizing you are without good options. Good to be in the fight at the mark but sure feels better to be clear and calling your own shots.

WAFI's

just waiting that minute to do the penalty turn is enough for the protest to hold up in many hearings. Looks like you are in a J80...but the other boat, not quite sure what it is...did they have the same start with you? (At WYC we have 8 different starts for about 120 boats on our main race evening and we often catch up to PHRF classes). Keep the video's coming!

would love a brief commentary to go with this. thanks for the vids

We had that happen last week ourselves...and went with another boat and started to doubt ourselves since we were not with the bulk of the fleet. The other boat that went with us won the race.

One design is the way to race!

High quality racing right there............

Pinch up or ease the sheets. Dangerous stuff.

Um… leeward boat = stand on vessel…. Maybe, just maybe?

Rule 18 is always fun..even in light air slo mo!

Perfect squeeze from 99, although they were OCS. You weren't close enough to close the gate.

Guy at 0:56 - what is he thinking running into the back of you?

PROTEST! WE PROTEST YOU! First crazy words I heard during my first sailing race many years ago as a newbie. I'm like "protest...wtf?" Then back at the club the Commodore is like 'ok folks those with protests fill out the form and your hearing will be scheduled'. Jesus I thought to myself these people are serious about their racing. Yeesh!!

Looked clean to me…plenty of room. If 99 had stayed on your starboard you could have luffed him up, but he just cruised through.

Why is Eminems music even suitable for sailing? = )

what camera are you using? also check "2024" typo in the title

No overlap establish at the zone entry so the guy broke his own pole while fouling the leeward boat.

How was he infront of you to begin with when you're sailing a J80?

Leeward boat…. ‘No overlap’….. heads up and hits windward boat…. Windward boat… ‘Well you hit me; I guess I had an overlap.’ QED 😂😂😂

Excellent

I hate mark roundings...😖

It's surprising this video came to me. I am a french sailor. Please excuse my writing, because English is not my mother tongue Very interesting video and also very well done video, we can see a lot of things. Let me comment : First J80 1067 should not have its engine on the rear when racing. It si forbidden by J80 class and we understand why. Second, Can 106 should not have his spinnaker pole oustside the bow, on the wrong side and with a sheet still in it. There is plenty of time to clean and prepare when going upwind. At the first buoy, can 106 had no right for space, but J80 give him plenty of. The problem is not to chnage his mind at the last second. The two dog legs buoys are very close wich is not a good idea. It helps to break boats ! At the second buoy, J80 669 had right for space and J80 1067 took risk to close the door. J80 669 touch the buoy but it doesn't seem to be a problem... At 00:37 the jib is probably to tight as the boat is not sailing upwind. And the two peaples who are looking at the buoy and doing nothing else could have prepared the spinnaker and be ready to hoist it sligtly before the second dog leg buoys. At 00:37 the spinakker should be like it is at 00:54. Looking to the two "V" boats and considering the J80 669 position at 00:08, the J80 1067 had lost at least 4 boat lenght in this dog leg. Hope it helps.

Nice, definitely captures that feeling
