Two guys on the 420---one on the Laser. That amounts to about an extra 150 lbs. extra wt. on the 420. Put two on the Laser & you'll get the opposite result.

that makes no sense ... one person can't hold the 420.

[zkenzo]

[pemela]

Rule 15 applies only to an official race. It is an exception to normal rules of right of way, just as F1 cars are not held to normal rules of the road. The laser on port tack clearly caused the 420 on starboard tack to take evasive action in order to avoid collision. That is a violation except in an official race - which this was not.-

[mattj4554]

do the guys on the 420 know what a roll tack is?

According to the Portsmouth Numbers on the two boats, the Laser beats the 420 in all wind conditions (although the boats are more evenly matched as the wind gets stronger.)

@elquemando ...Immediately take avoiding action. The laser does so, and there is no contact. If this were a real race with umpires or a protest in the room, it would have surely been decided as no foul.

The Laser guy isn't a jerk and you are ignorant.

@elquemando

Okay... you obviously have never read the rules or you simply do not understand them. Rule 15 states that when a boat acquires right of way through their own actions they must give the other boat room to keep clear. Therefore the laser doesn't need to even START to avoid the 420 until it has completed its tack and acquired right of way. The completion of the tack is when the 420 begins to sail on a close hauled course. At this point the Laser is now the keep clear boat and must....

wo ist das ???

[elquemando]

The 420 was doing just fine until they came about and the laser fell upon them. They were already on starboard tack when the moron in the laser violated their right of way and made the 420 take evasive action in order to avoid a collision. The video shows that

A) the 420 crew did not recover well and

B) the Laser guy is a jerk
