Nigel and Alex had banged the right corner and took a knock that left them pinching to the mark. We had just come in from the left side, crossed comfortably in front of A&N, and had just completed our tack on the starboard layline when that first picture was taken. With the shifty breeze and given our position, we played the safe play and overstood a little....that, or Wick just wanted an opportunity to foot and roll.

Naturally, they got around us by the next mark and Alex and Nigel went on to win that race too.
