It really is a very mental sport.<br /><br />As for the situation, the port tacker is on or near the port layline and the starboard tacker is coming close to him (on the left side). So, for the starboard tacker to reach the mark, he has to tack onto port, while the port tacker can fetch the mark without tacking. I said tacking twice because the mark was to be left to port so both would have to make a final tack at the mark.<br /><br />By the way, it has been a long time since you have posted. I would be very interested in hearing more about trapeze swings and/or corridors.Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-80892114050858034352013-06-07T00:26:11.062+04:002013-06-07T00:26:11.062+04:00Juking the starboard tacker?

But I don't see why the original starboard tacker has to tack any more times than the original port tacker. Run that by me again?R W Rawleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602434711520754614noreply@blogger.com
