Today was all about the gate. Seven out of ten incidents were at the gate.
I'm still amazed at a port boat thinking if I just give enough room, I'm okay. And then ' forcing' a starboard boat to gybe.
There was one so bad it made me wish I could give an umpire initiated penalty.
Besides breaking rule 10, that same port boat then failed to give enough mark-room AND also luffed the inside boat when they were still at the mark to almost head to wind.
No Yankee flag, so no penalty, but oh boy, these were some major infringements.
Something I still have a hard time accepting. But like our CU says: "no aggrieved sailor, no penalty"
Did you ever had situation where you felt like giving a penalty, without a Yankee flag from one of the boats, so you couldn't?
