In the US they were doing it already a year or more before that.<br />Please feel free to distribute the papers among your fellow Umpires and Japanese sailors and give it a try in a next event. I think you'll be positively impressed.<br />Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346870418220762709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-67551383608121925772014-03-09T15:49:37.803+01:002014-03-09T15:49:37.803+01:00Thanks.

Usually, the boat ahead chooses the mark that leads to the favoured side of the race course and the gate gives an option to the trailing boat to do something different and still have a chance to win a race....<br /><br />the only problem with this article is that I can't open the attached ....they are asking for a password....<br /><br />SteviekourisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-48261593894781425232014-03-08T17:17:19.397+01:002014-03-08T17:17:19.397+01:00We've used leeward gates at our club hosted re...We've used leeward gates at our club hosted regattas for several years now in the US. Since most of the fleets are handicapped and consist of catamarans in one fleet, dingies in another and keel boats in the third, after twice around, most of the fleets are intermingled with the others. The gate system allows the different sized boats to have a fair shot at roundings: a sunfish can avoid being blanketed by a Catalina 22, thus being dropped back several spots in a timed handicap by someone outside of their race.
