Answer - Enough for him to make a bouy rounding as he would de without other boats around (Without f#$K ups)
Tiki, know EXACTLY how you feel at these mark roundings. In theory you shouldn't have to worry about the other boats and just do your thing -- which needs three hands. However, in practice you end up doing the mark rounding while keeping an eye on the other boats and inevitably you f#$k up like Tornado Alive said. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
