Good video to debrief with the crew on how to do it better next time.
The set, downwind strategy & gybes could all have been improved. I'm sure the crews of these boats has spent time reviewing to ensure the mistakes don't repeat themselves.
I raced on two Synergy 1000's, one with a bowsprit & asym, the other converted to symmetric with a pole. Hoist takes about the same time either way. Looks like they had some sort of hangup or something for such a slow hoist.
I prefer symmetric chutes. Cleaner gybes, and (for me) easier to sort out the lines as a bowman. Symmetric the lines (sheet & guy) make sense, asym they always seemed like an illogical tangle. But I grew up sailing in the old days with symmetric chutes.
i agree on the "race losing' slow hoist there, damn sloppy or do sprit boats do slower hoists or what never sailed one. unless it can plane no use for a sprit tactically weak...
What a Balls rounding by the Port boat at the windward mark. It had to look even closer on deck.
Great Video.

Thats the idea. Take the overtaking boat to the outside.

Both boats did, and slow hoist... maybe it was a tactical move by the leeward boat?
