Where? We are not watching the same vid or being opportunistic in analysis of 5 secs. The A to me is coming in on the layline, the Blade to me looks as though it has overstood and is reaching in. I wasn't at this regatta this year, but correct me if I am wrong (competitors this year at Forster please provide this info), but normally in the past there aren't any reaches at Forster, it is all w/l's the ones I have sailed at.

If you overstand, then reaching in like that you will be faster. But that does mean the Blade should have been ahead, but did they have same start, which lap etc etc. Can't draw anything from a 5 sec vid but say, "I wish I was there"...
