I agree, I don't know why he thought it would work, but I'll bet he won't do it again!

Did you see the port/starboard cross with Swordfish, on starboard, having to fly a hull right over the top of Korea to 'miss' them? That was pretty funny, but Korea got hit with the penalty which tubed them. They had done a great comeback by going out into the current going downwind and went from 5th to second place, but then the penalty killed them.

I was wondering why more boats were not going left (looking downwind from the A mark gate) with all that current to help them, when going downwind. It seemed to me that the few boats who did go out there made big gains going downwind.
