I'm confused, maybe some of you race guys can explain, why the Lee bow tack when you have rights? I.E. NZ on Starboard and they tack below Alingi (Race 3)?? Why not hold your course and make them tack, then cover????? I really don't understand this tactic!!!!
Because then you get leebowed. If you force your cross, on these monohulls, the leeward (port) boat is going to tack right under you and the windward boat will have bad air and slide backwards.
