I am not sure I agree with you, but I will think a bit more about it... an anemometer will spin due to the drag force on the cups. The cups will reach equilibrium when they are spinning at such a rate... ”

Rule Reader I disagree that the purple kite altered their course and violated Rule 16. But different people see different things, and I can understand how somebody would make that call. The bigger iss... ”
“
totally agree that it is a minor foul, and in fact the purple kite (not me) didn't file a protest for this. I am interested in how sailors view these situations. I think it is pretty interesting that ... ”

In this video, the "critical moment" is at time 0:46. At this point we have Duncan (15706) possibly clear ahead, and possibly overlapped with Christopher (15705). If the boats are overlapped at this p... ”

Great point Amanda! There is a LOT of validity to do 2 on 2. I think it is far and away the best way to introduce kids to team racing. They learn the fundamentals without getting the deer on headlight... ”
