Race Area
The wind coming from the open water. Should be more stable than the past days.
Start
Pin end bias. Big enough that the boats starting there managed to tack and cross the fleet, putting themselves in a favored shift and positioning on top of the fleet.
Nika was the closest boat to the line, but 16 behind the leading MBlue. Quite some boats more than 2 boat lengths behind.
1st Upwind
Tacking after the gun was pretty important since from that point on the wind was moving to the right, allowing the right group to be in the front.
Quite some boats on the left side ended up over the layline. If you are back and the laylines are coming and there are more boats going there, you need to find the exit sooner, calculate possible cover, and need to tack two more times. In these stable conditions, nothing hurts more than sailing extra meters for no reason.
Top Mark
1st Downwind
Nika, GameC and GhostR had the fastest run, one of the reasons was nailing the layline and doing only one gybe.
Gate Marks
2nd Upwind
The left paid with the wind shifting a bit. Left boats gaining close to the top mark. Nika with the best performance, catching up.
2nd Downwind
Gybe set boats were losing some meters. Otherwise not much happening except a luffing duel of GhostR and MBlue
Maneuvers
This screen is used better when you actually practice maneuvers and do many. All the tracks are aligned. All the numbers are median values, meaning one bad maneuver is not changing it. Loss is loss in meters upwind. Updist is even better for comparison, it is the upwind distance the boat did in the maneuvers. For example, MSun does 7m more upwind distance in the maneuvers than Boomer.
