The start of any sailing race is critically important to you over success in any race. With the pin end favoured and some smaller boats crossing the fleet on port to try and own the ping end of the line there was a lot on during the start of this race in the annual frosties regatta at Strangford Lough Yacht Club. The team on GTR got a leeward hook on What's the Rush II and forced to her to windward, as the two boats round up they nearly caught out an SB20 which was cross the two boats on port to try and line up at the pin end of the line. After a close cross with and SB20 who was caught out by the sudden round up the team on GTR pushed What's the Rush head to wind while closing the gauge to setup for a nice leebow position as the make their run for the line. The skipper on What's the Rush continue to turn up to try and get some gauge to windward to prevent the leebow. At one point What's the Rush went past head to wind, while this did give them some gauge to windward it slowed their boat speed significantly as the jib trimmer failed to release the sheet which resulted in the jib back winding which slowed them down and reduced the benefit of getting the additional gauge to windward. The Mumm 36 GTR maintain more speed, hitting the line as the gun went, this allowed them to pinch a little closer to What's the Rush while they bore off the accelerate. This put the Mumm 36 GTR in the controlling position and allowed them to setup for a leebow which enable them to control the first beat. If you would like to learn more about the leebow, check out one of our earlier videos which take you through the sailing science of won of the best attacking up wind manoeuvres.

🇬🇧 What a day of contrasts! From drifting in circles this morning to full speed under spinnaker this evening. 🏁 Disappointing to have lost miles to the competition but nice to be back in the chase! Good things come to those who wait…. Except haircuts. I really need a haircut! 👩 🇫🇷 Quelle journée remplie de contrastes ! De la navigation en rond ce matin à la vitesse maximale sous spi ce soir. 🏁 Déçu d'avoir perdu des milles au profit de la concurrence mais agréable de se remettre dans la course ! Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre.... Sauf les coupes de cheveux. J'ai vraiment besoin d'une coupe de cheveux ! 👩
