Insane Start Of J24 US Nationals, Day 2 Race 1!

[@mjones-5846]

That is called LAKE SAILING. We deal with that every day. What about the 2 Starboard tack boats rubbing before the horn?

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

@@mjones-5846 yes..this is common on the lake. I was not aware of any protests here…perhaps a penalty turn occurred but I don’t recall any. I will go look at the raw footage!

[@marvinwestern4276]

Wasn’t that slow mo already?

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

Ya this was all relatively light air, but just even a moments hesitation made a big difference

[@18thhoursailing]

Haha, thats what i thought too

[@sdcofer52]

Should have blew a horn and postponed until the RC straightened out the course. When every boat tacks onto port at the start, something is wrong.

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

I would agree that this is very atypical. Good Q for the PRO and for this situation in general. Thanks for watching!

[@mikecolucci771]

that's unacceptable for a National Regatta. AP up and reset the start line

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

Not being the RC...i cant make an opinion on this but welcome your input. Thanks for watching

[@jonstivers]

Get the graphics off the screen so I can see what is happening, thanks.

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

I will create a graphics free version

[@sdcofer52]

4738 should have stayed on starboard till she had forced half the fleet to duck her, then tack onto port.

[@SailingTeamTallyHo]

Good insight. I have this same start from another camera that ill put in another video rhat could give us some more context. Thanks for watching!

Holy crap
