start |

A coin toss! You have to be kidding! And what if the wind is expected to move in the opposite direction from this tack?
Or will one boat be so much easier to tack than the other, that it won't matter for the easy tacking boat. I mean look at these things. They are square. |

I'm sure saw something on Eurosport about Oracle winning
the toss to allow them to start the race on Starboard. Does that mean the Alinghi have to start on Port? |

1. What is the pre-race maneuvering going to look like? Will there be any?
2. Does the design of the "boats " in any way change the objectives of the pre-race maneuvers. 3. Will it be a race to the layline, 1 tack and mark rounding? 4. How will the boats round the mark (I know, carefully)? 5. Will the down-wind angles be more/less acute than for monohulls? 6. How hard/easy is to jibe these boats in heavy wind, running down-wind. And finally: 7. How long will it take to sail the 2-3 required races? |
