In Soviet Russia, we drive over your boat.

As read on the press: After analyzing the accident between two sailboats during an International competition where both boats where seriously damaged and 2 of the 4 crews almost suffer injuries with the boat that pass over them, the ISAF race comity decide that, and for immediate application, all sailboat participating in a race inshore or offshore must have a anti collision system on board, which will warning sailors of the presence of other sailboats that may present a threat of collision. Such system is widely used in aviation and is called ACAS (airborne collision avoidance system). The name of the system is under approval by the comity, but our investigator found some of the name proposed: RusArg (in memory of the sailors who almost died in the accident), BADSAS (Bad Sailors Avoidance System).

A small translation snafu in the sailing instructions proved to be rather unfortunate on the windward/leewared course today.

Hey ISAF! Can a kiteboard pretzel a mast and shred fiberglass this well? Looks like the Star is a shoo in for the 2016 reconsideration!

Out of the Olympics as the two man keelboat, an International cadre of Star sailors undertakes secret experiments to rejoin as a four man catamaran.

Classic submissive posture in the Star mating ritual

Ah yes and here we have an example of the mating Star. See who the Southern Star was loured in her mate with submissiveness. And now how gentility the Northern Star raised up to become entangled in their passionate dance.

[OatmealSavage]

That's going to leave a mark!

The collision between these two stars actually occurred ten million years ago but we're only seeing it now because they were racing in another galaxy!

Phrases like "Bang the Corners" should be avoided when there is any possibilty of translation errors between helmsman and tactician.

After a formal request for help by both governments involved, the NTSB has said it will take about 3 1/2 years to complete their investigation of what went wrong in a collision between Russian and Argentinian sailboats this past weekend.

Dude, that was totally your job to look for leward boats.

[Inter 20]

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

[Cliffyk]

"Protest, failure to give room."

Okay, it's not funny, but RUS almost certainly just rounded down. If so, Arg was the ROW boat (leeward), and had no obligation to anticipate RUS's pending loss of control.

If I'm right, I think I win for being humorless but correct.

Or else, "Star light, star bright, first star that I see tonight".
