Most models show 10 - 14 kts. But..... yaknow.Cheers and is there any chance of this one getting weathered off?
Care to explain more?At this Point the Wind Speed isn't all that important. It's the TIDE. Anyone knows if we have a EBB or FLOOD Tide today?.

Agree that the models show moderate winds, but SailFlows wind buoys in SF bay already show 7-10 knots averages with 14 kts gusts. If the wind builds as it usually does this could indicate winds in the upper range once again. But at least there isn't a strong ebb reducing the limit.Most models show 10 - 14 kts.

So, max Flood at 11.08 PST...bad for New Zealand cuz once it gets closer to Race Time the FLOOD disappears and it gets more even and (or) a slight EBB.Oops, my bad.

There have been 5 Races contested in an EBB Tide this Regatta. OTUSA 3 ETNZ 2.
Can someone explain why tnz do not initiate a fybing duel when they find themselves behind on leg 2? Surely they could hope for a bad OR gybe or at least a split?
The boat ahead is in control in these races because the wind is always forward and the boat behind has no shadow.Can someone explain why tnz do not initiate a fybing duel when they find themselves behind on leg 2? Surely they could hope for a bad OR gybe or at least a split?
