This was a match race, rules almost always change to allow much more ruthless tactics, ainslie was in the right and attempted to avoid contact in the end but richard's luff at the end caused the collision.
-
Why did Ainslie bearoff to start with? I feel like if he had maintained course from the beginning they wouldn't have hit. Is there something i'm missing?
-
the boat with rights has to maintain their course as not to cause the other boat to foul them. here the starboard boat had rights and bore away into the port boat. a blatant foul.
-
Strange - I always thought the windward boat had to hold her course not below close hauled after calling starboard.
-
@Kounglou yeah but still the other boat should n must avoid a contact..simple bearing off would do it.
-
@whitehorsephoto One can only hope so. But my word, I sure hope they're never on the same harbor as me!
-
@Kounglou Irrespect of whether there was contact or not, Richards was still in the wrong and would have been penalised.
-
Am I wrong? It looks like the boat that hits the other with it's tail if it just stopped turning after the first half the tail would not have swinged into the other boat.
So in my eyes the turning boat has bad sailorship: not avoiding his tail hitting the boat by stop turning his boat, but taking advantage of the situation and rules to keep his boat turning and hit the other boat forcing the other to get the penalty.

Both boats tried to yield at exactly the same time.
Richard had to yield as the wind was over her port side, but the other boat changed course at exactly the same time.

Richard clearly changed course to let Ainslie go. Next thing Anslie heads straight for Richards boat. If anyone is to blame it is Ainslie, who purposely caused a collision.

Principal rule of sailing is to avoid a collision. Richard was bearing away. Ainslie went looking for a collision. Cheap shot AInslie
