IOCA Optimist Wiki - Upwind Strategy - Tidal Flow

In our final look at upwind strategy we are looking at the topic of tide and how that effects our strategy in turn.
We will break this down looking at the simple effect of tide on our boat and the impact of the tidal induced wind. Then apply this to a race course and how that will impact your upwind strategy.

Love your videos, but isn't there a mistake in this? At 5:14 you say that the advantage is in starting up tide, but isn't the blue boat down tide? Correct me if I've got this wrong.
