It was my attempt at humour, but when I dutifully queued for the bridge in the Sheppey race, I did wonder if I was being a bit too British...

People keep mixing up sailing and racing.

Nothing fancy. Good move though. From Snipe Worlds.

Clever, but exactly what I dislike about class racing - don't like doing it to others, hate having it done to me. I thought Championships were there to find the fastest sailor, not the best chess-player/lawyer?

fastest or smatest? Or probably both

Big Willi

 

Best sailor = both

I liked it. Good move & Sailgroove is one of the best sites for posting this stuff.

Just the sort of tactic you'd expect to see at World Championship level.

Providing it stays fair I'm a fan. Nice one, Brazil.

yes it was a great move and the guy who crossed the finish line first (out of the two boats) was the fastest sailor by definition. 

Why would you not make a move like that if you could get in place to do it?
