The boat that was hit was the leeward boat and was not at fault. All the windward boat had to do was head up for a fraction of a second and then bear off and he'd be clear.

proper course.... rule 17

[@CpHrvatska]

​@@vortex8188 There's no rule 17 anymore in match racing. Although there was in 2013

Match racing can be a lot of fun but you need to know what you are doing. The camera boat was frustrating the daylights out of me because from the very beginning of the race right until the end, they had good boat position and should have won but they kept their sails pulled in way too tight and starved the heck out of them. They should have let them out slightly, gone for more boat speed and they could have won. The other crew knew how to maximuze boat speed and take advantage of this crews mistakes and that is why they ultimately won, too bad they were hit especially when they had right of way.

[@alexanderabenius3967]

Nope, DS37 racers

[@bingbong4468]

I’m sorry but I just have no idea how anyone would think they could have made the swing around the stern there.

Don't look at him... You loose

[@yutatsukamoto8177]

This helmsman has bad technique for mark roundings

[@12345fowler]

When you have the helm, you must watch it like the milk on heat and not start doing other things.

[@camdensimon1935]

This guy doesn't know the rules... horrible

[@spelunkerd]

Not as simple as that, match racing is full of near collisions and technical fouls. To participate in competitive match racing on the international scene, these guys know the rules inside and out. Throughout the race his understanding of the rules is obvious. Clearly he hesitated before he tried to duck, and overestimated his opponent's speed coming out of the turn.

The more I watch these, the more I see entitled, whiny, punks...

[@bingbong4468]

That’s all sailors are

[@kristofferkarlsson4260]

As a former sailing instructor, seeing this made me furious, To all of you out there, this a good example of how NOT to behave on a sailing boat. Running , jumping, with no MOB protection whatsoever and no life jackets wearing. Poor control over what is happening outside the boat. You are a danger to yourself and to others. There is a captain missing,, who should give all the orders. It is a setup for an accident.

[@charoox]

Go practice some match racing instead of criticzing stuff you have no idea about

[@bingbong4468]

You’re acting like they’re going offshore racing. They’re sailing less than a mile.

[@glyntutt1586]

Former sailing instructor……. Yes, that sums you up KK!
