Warning: Strong current at a top mark this week
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2020 12:53 pm
Hi all team captains,
Please make sure all your team members are aware that there is a strong current at the top mark in the first race this Tuesday. The boats on starboard are drifting strongly to leeward. If you do not account for this, and tack early, you will likely hit the mark and create a chaos. This will give a lot of unnecessary work for the protest committee.
In the previous round, we had a record high number of cases for the Protest Committee, so we hope to receive less this week, but we are a little concerned about that particular top mark. But with your help, we hope to avoid just that...
Thanks!
Harald,
PC Chairman
