and he said it was a Distance Race which to me means maybe neither one of them was "close hauled" but instead trying to get to some fixed marker up the shore/river/what have you.
I'm missing why "close hauled" is impotant hear?
I just looked and it seems that the RSS refers to the ROW boat in relation to "proper course" instead of "close hauled" so proper course could be nearly any point of sail, correct??
