This video shot by www.droneproject.eu shows tight action at a windward mark during the RC44 Cup in Marstrand, Sweden the first weekend of July 2021. The lead boat RUS 21 shows great down-speed boat handling. She does several quick tacks in succession and luffs around the windward mark, all the while staying in front of the fleet. The question is: did RUS 21 pull off a slick move to round the windward mark first or should she get the flick for breaking a rule. Things to think about: When RUS 10 originally tacked from port to starboard, was she in the zone? Does 18.3 apply RUS 21 got room from RUS 10, was RUS 21 entitled to luff after rounding the mark. Watch the video and draw your own conclusions. The answer is on the UK Sailmakers.com site in the Rules Quiz section. V

Oggi ci svegliamo con il desiderio di scendere a terra, fare una camminata. Ma il meteo non è troppo d’accordo. Se in barca non vuoi vivere brutte sorprese, è meglio imparare a rimetterti alle sue decisioni. Di certo un esercizio perfetto per chi è solito esercitare controllo su ciò che lo circonda! Quindi senza forzare le cose, decidiamo di fare un bagno. Ragazzi che acqua calda, uno splendore. Peccato che le temperature così calde siano causa di stagione di intense attività di uragani. Quest’anno pare sia destinato ad assistere a qualcosa di forte. Ed ecco perché il 5 giugno molliamo gli ormeggi. Oggi abbiamo scelto di pulire le murate. Perchè? Perché vedere Julia di nuovo così splendente ci ha dato una gratificazione incredibile. E oggi, la nostra domenica, nonostante un meteo non dei migliori, ha avuto modo ugualmente di essere un giorno che ci ha riempito gli occhi e il cuore. Andrea
