Race Area
Start
No bias at all. All about the good speed and distance to start. Rogue was extremely close, but still a touch behind. AMac too.
1st Upwind
Looks like quite a speed race. AMac and RacerCC with almost identical performance. Catching up on leading Rogue who struggled more. Just a touch of right trend helping AMac a bit.
clean sailing values. AMac and RacerCC almost identical
Top mark
1st Downwind
After bad downwind in race 8, Tango was the best this time. Gybed a bit later and catching up on AMac.
Gate Rounding
Left turn favored. Visible in Rogue vs Karabos rounding. First pack of boats all rounded the better mark. Juicette lost the most by rounding the unfavored mark in a bad way.
2nd Upwind
The wind shifting right during the leg. Leg started in left shift. AMac and RacerCC did a good job of staying a bit more right. Tango also had a solid one a bit below. Course was moved left, but wind went back so was pretty skewed.
2nd Top Mark
Tango the fastest. Mostly gaining before the mark.
2nd Downwind
Right shift and pretty much straight line to the gate.
2nd Gate Rounding
As an exception, this time there was a right shift, but the marks were set that the right turn is more windward.
3rd Upwind
Very skewed course, not much passing opportunities. Boats in the front stretching out. Matilda managed to overtake Flirtation. Again a bit of right trend in the leg.
