When one boat is ahead in these conditions on these courses, when the boats are pretty even in speed, the boat ahead has a distinct advantage. And that is showing. The nature of the small start area and the short start time gives the advantage to the left starter. Boat speeds are just because of that tactical advantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
