telltales on the leach is used for track setting on keel boats :S
aint seen any dinghys even a rooster 8.1 :( so cant realy see the use on a dinghy
time spent with a clock and 2 bouys probs best way to help test vang
when we raced to norway it blew a steady 45+ and its only as dangeris as the people sailing
any thing above 25/30 i use my radial, na the few times i have raced i found it fun because of the wipe outs
would you have not broken that rule as well? cos you broke the port gives way ( cant be arshed to look for number) to give your self an advantage even though you did not mean to
thats the way a protest comittie would see it and your would both get blame but over all it would be your own fault...
erm your fault end of, he went up so you had chance to tack below him, if you push hard dont call people idiots who hit you its part of it, if you chiken out n duck before people will abuse been on boat that that caused a t-bone instead of preventing it
erm just look at keel boats $15k about (7.0k£) is nothing for a new boat kited out for racing at olympic standard, take the new x-yacht's no racing sails no carbon on it your talking 150k£ with carbon sails and carbon spinny polls an extra 30k-40k£ and then 15k every 2 years for new sails...
