Also, depending on the position of the next mark, it is possible that 18 had switched off as they were no longer rounding the mark.

Was watching a video on YouTube of a guy sailing his Vago single handed during the tiger trophy and looks like he gets taken out at the gybe mark by  fireball 555.
The guy in the Vago does make a bit of a hash of the gybe but looks like the fireball was trying to role him and should of done turns for hitting him? 

The fireball definitely was taking his own fate there given that you can see that the Vago was clearly inside and overlapped even if he did muck the gybe up. 

What you cannot see, however, is what avoiding action the fireball had to take....they COULD be exonerated as the Vago clearly does not make a controlled rounding.

That is another discussion completely though.

That has to be the most horrendous mis-comprehension of a simple English sentence I've ever come across. You should be ashamed of yourself.

tape drive is a trademarked membrane (just like everything in sails these days) owned by uksailmakers (butch halsey).
Any sailmaker can buy it if they have an account with a franchise like north/doyle/quantum/ullman/velman/China Sails/UKsails - i'm not sure if Hydes have a 'string' sail, but as an independant sailmaker you cannot buy these products unless you have done a deal with the larger loft.


You're very good at contradicting yourself. Also are you aware that the patents on all this technology has long since expired?

The only membrane sails an independant sailmaker can buy is DIAX2LP or D4, one is Bainbridge and the other is Dimension polyant - both are cloth suppliers and not sailmakers. 


I'm well aware of both Bainbridge and DP and their products having dealt with them both when I was in the trade.

I don't know really that you can tell much at all from that sort of fish eye lens stuff, but I'd be inclined to think that until the boat with the camera gybed the Fireball was keeping clear and could easily have been the innocent party.

Good to see that expensive sail cloth does not tear when it catches  a passing shroud/trapeze hook/head of helm  Wink
