Some good news. Wind forecast for tomorrow and Sunday now 10-15kn from the Southeast. Not as strong as today but not as fickle as predicted earlier.
Saturday looks diabolical but our main hopes aren’t racing then.
Light and shifty might be an opportunity for Waterhouse and Darmanin i'm hoping.. They haven't performed in the breeze.
Yeah I hope so. I confess I can't give any insight into catamarans let alone those that foil.
I'm just too old.
SOMETHING'S HAPPENED TO KONTIDES. HE'S GONE OFF THE COURSE!
Wearn now in VERY strong position for Gold.
Belcher & Ryan 4th in Race 5
Belcher and Ryan came home and won Race 5 in the 470s.
This is beginning to look really good although GBR continue turning in good scores.
It's got them 4th and Patience 10th on what i can see?
Strange. I was following the tracker.
I guess we'll find out.
4th and 10th is actually a better outcome.
Very new to sailing to appreciate all the explanations.Update on this post.
There are certain things you're not allowed to do in sailing that make your boat go faster.
"Pumping" (hauling in and releasing) your sail repeatedly whilst sailing downwind is one.
Using sudden body movements (ooching) to help catch a wave is another.
In race 1, Kontides got caught pumping and was required to do a 720 degree turn (2 circles) before continuing.
In Race 7, he got caught pumping again and as it was his second offence, he was required to retire from the race.
A good analogy here is ball tampering in cricket. Everyone does it, shining the ball using saliva etc, but it comes down to degrees.
Given umpires are all over the place in these events, Kontides is either bloody stiff, or bloody dumb. Hopefully we'll get some footage.
Yep. They sacrificed a spot in that race covering the Brits. We’ll see a bit of that now that other boats don’t matter.3rd in Race 6
GB in 5th
Can't rule out Stipanovic eitherYep. They sacrificed a spot in that race covering the Brits. We’ll see a bit of that now that other boats don’t matter.
Watch for Wearn sticking close to Kontides in the next couple of races.
Not expecting but huge chances nonethelessSo does this mean we're expecting gold/s in sailing?
I'm sorry for the novice question, but do these events finish today or roll into the weekend?Not expecting but huge chances nonetheless
