That port tack was massively favored, either a really bad course set or a big wind shift before the start. I can only think of two reasons those other boats were heading back on starboard and that would be more wind or an obstruction that made them tack? You were late on the start, but your angle to the mark was such that you could probably take that all the way and round with only one tack. My guess is at the end of leg one you were doing quite well?

Right. Looks like port tack is almost parallel to the line. Race commite should have aborted the pocedure. The cross in front of 9696 was an extreme good judgement - or dangerous. If it was just oscillating wind they would have really been in trouble on the slightest shift.

@@alexandermenck6609 I think about that every time I see helm/tactician judge a cross on port tack _in front of_ a boat on starboard. All you need is a nice header at the right moment and you're fucked.
