Why does Leroy immediately roll into a jibe? If she just stayed on port she could have escaped to the boat end immediately. It works anyway because Tulloch came over the top and got controlled to weather, but seems to me a move towards the boat after breaking the dialup is a higher percentage play. |

Next time starboard should set up, not bow to bow, but rather bow to chainplates when dialing the port boat. The "nerves of steel" move is a simple counter to take advantage the leeward gap left by an over aggressive turn to windward by yellow. To combine the nerves of steel with a reversal, well that is just awesome! |

Groovy Move! |
If you notice Leroy never looked back while going through the jibe after the steel balls move-either she either new tulloch would simply bear away and be slow or she was going to jibe regardless.
And also Tulloch was never controlling as she was too far forward and too close. If she was controlling she wouldn't have had to tack out. Leroy jibing underneath gave her immediate control so long as she was able to stay close to leeward of Tulloch.
Well executed
