Interesting to note, that when your boat heels up, your traveler doesn't move, but your mainsail trimmer eases the sheet. But you pull the helm/tiller up to keep the boat from rounding up. And when Oakcliff tacks to what I'd call a safe leeward position in the 2nd encounter you are so focused on yelling at them you're all over the place. Might want to consider appointing your most vocal crew to do the yelling and focus on driving! 2nd on constant windward helm!

I'll add my $0.02 as an armchair protest committee: First - OakCliff fouls the crap out of the blue boat at the start of the clip. But that's not why we are here. Tack at 1:00 - Even though OakCliff had completed the tack, they fell off past close-hauled during the tack and therefore Rule 13 applies. They must keep clear until they have reached a close-hauled course. At 1:02 you can see they are quite below a close-hauled course. I would say foul by OakCliff Black but iffy, they could have tacked like a second earlier it would have been fine probably. Tack at 4:38 - They do tack a hair earlier, and dont go down as far in the tack. They complete and then the video boat becomes overtaking boat and needs to keep clear. No penalty. Very close. But im just a dude behind a keyboard and its fun to talk about. If you aint rubbin, you aint racin.

I agree with you. as soon as sails fill on the new tack you are no longer a tacking boat. sailing slow after a tack is not a crime. Instead of yelling the second time. The starboard boat could have sailed 3-5 degrees low for a few meters to gain speed and get the port boat to tack to early making it harder for them to reach the mark, as well as making it easier to gain some distance sideways between the boats after the tack... But thinking ahead is not always easy and seeing things afterwards is also much easier than during a race.

"they fell off past close-hauled during the tack and therefore Rule 13 applies". This is wrong. Falling off past closehauled is irrelevant so far as R13 is concerned. You keep clear until you reach closehauled for the first time, even if you pass through it.

Looks like the boat was a Farr 400 and the boat inside of her was a Farr 40 based on the shape of the Hull. The the 1996 Farr 40 could hold off the 2010 Farr 400 upwind.

On the second encounter if they just sailed the boat I expect they would have rolled them. First encounter they should have been prepared for the tack and at the very least nailed it….. Just sail the boat guys and protest more professionally. It’s a win win.

Nice work! Looks like the rudder spends alot of time away from the centre. You might need to rake the mast forward slightly if you want to improve that.

Both are clean maneuvers by Black, no rules broken. Might be uncomfortably close (but that can be expected from a boat from match racing school), but you did not have to (and also didnt) luff before they completed their tack to avoid contact. Also, I admire your really clean looking nice cockpit, what boat is it?

Well I’m glad I’m not sharing the water with many of the commenters here. Both encounters are clear port/starboard infringements. In the first the port tack boat clearly tacked into the starboard tack boat’s water forcing a course alteration to avoid a collision and in the second the starboard tacker would have collided with the port tacker had the starboard boat not altered course. Both absolutely clear infringements with video evidence! How on Earth are you people not seeing that

By 4:42 Oakcliff has completed tack, up until that the video boat did not have to alter course, and it also did not. Exactly then the video boat became give way boat as it was overtaking. The only question was did Oakey leave enough time to react after they completed the tack and the obvious answer is yes since video boat was able to do so with plenty of margin. Sure a lee bow pisses off the video boat helmsman, it's an added bonus for Oakey.

@@sailawayteam I disagree, but leaving that there, and having been disqualified by on water referees for far less, good luck with pulling that off. Generally referees put the onus on the give way boat to prove they did give way which in a protest room is even more difficult in “he said she said” situations like these unless there are corroborating witnesses. Remember, the whole idea of the RRS is to avoid collisions completely and line ball matters are commonly decided in favour of the stand on vessel.

@@PaulBKal I hear you but I've seen this on giving and receiving end without foul. Might be different in match race but in fleet race protest hearing proving a foul is gonna be very hard when the protesting boat did not (have to) alter course when right of way boat and had time to do so when give way.
