New Britannia

Prada left it late to bear away to give the impression of an infringement. Could they have taken a deliberately lower angle straight after their gybe with the intention of going for a port starboard decision? They appeared to be the slower boat downwind and a successful protest may have been their only chance of a win. 

Brittania appears to turn sharper, almost dinghy like.
YouTube has hundreds of millions of members, Y&Y has 19,000ish, posters to membership, Y&Y has a better average and substantially more sense per post.

Originally posted by Grumpycat Totally agree about the ‘ other place ‘. But on the other hand compare how many people post on it to the amount of people that post here . Then tell me y&y are doing the right thing .

Funny, I came across and old dinghy mag the other day from 1980 and thought then what a shame there's no equivalent today.

To be fair to Y&Y, it's kind of difficult for them to do the 'right' thing since the edifice that was once Y&Y is split between the print mag and this online bit and I doubt either of them have the resources necessary in order to do it. Although one of them does own the Dingy Mag title which they should have relaunched ages ago as an online mag in that style, using controbutors like dougaldog and a host of other talent that you can see on here from time to time.

All regional forums that were once big have contracted to a few international types and they are often poluted with Yank Trolls and *Tools to the point most sensible folk tend to avoid them these days and use facebook, where the poster has an identity to be judged by.

In the face of all that this forum is doing at least OK to still be going strong, given the limited base of its would be users compared to say cyclists.
