@1795DARKNESS the boat had pretty much lost control as i think they were to shy for the set in a fresh breeze.. yes the other boat should've tried to avoid it but it was all to late
Am I right in saying that the boat being filmed has right of way as the boat hitting them was technically overtaking. Hence the rule "overtaking boat gives way"?
@MrSAILINGROCKS I do apologise for showing a lack of respect on youtube, that great bastion of wit and charm. Great video tho, my comment was sarcastic.
@hamsterminator would u be out there in 25 plus knots on a 32 foot boat that acts like a small boat. i doubt that so you should not be calling them noobs for racing in hard condtions.
@1795DARKNESS If I hear one more bloody person trying to use overtaking boat as a rule they will get hurt...
the rule that you are thinking of is rule 11: When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat
as soon as any boat can get their nose to leeward of another boat they have rights, EVEN, let me make this clear, EVEN IF THEY ARE OVERTAKING.

Naaaasty... The helm of the white kite boat gets slapped by the tack of the red kite as they blow the tackline :'( looks painful.
