or they just don't want to get tangled up with you up the beat....and
if you want to go to one side of the course you might want to just let
the port-tack boat go, also remember that tacking's slow and you don't
want to do too many....we used to do it all the time in oppies, oh the
good old days!

they want to make you go to the un-favoured side of the course, maybe there is more ide there or the wind is heading you on port or something, they let you cross because they know they will catch up.

Sometimes it can be too your advantage (as a stb bot) to give a port boat right of way. Cant think of an obvious situation off hand but i know of plenty of times where ive been told by a stb boat to hold my course and they've slowed to let me cross. |

Makes sense completely L4.7. With the vast quantities of Laser sailors your gonna get a lot of pillocks, but also a lot of nice people.

i've found the majority of laser squad people are funny when you get to know them the only laser sailors i know who leave boats and trollies in the way of other people are the really self oppinionated ones who think that they're the greatest and everyone should bow down to them (or pull their boat around theirs etc). leave lasers and their sailors alone please don't tarnish us all with the same brush just because we belong to a particullar SMOD class which happens to have some pr*cks in it who forget that there are other people
.....does that make any sense or am i waffling |
