It just used to swing back and concuss me

I've sailed a lighter version of this boat and yeah, it can take your head off

 

[CakeEater]

Now its abandoned.

What does this mean?

 

[largebus]

Annnd it's abandoned for wind shift

What a shithouse course, do this in Brittany so you get the consistent Atlantic breeze

 

[Royces Hart]

I’d like to see Dinghy Cross

 

[myblueroan]

Great run by Keefer

 

[CakeEater]

Why wouldnt you finish?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What a stupid rule but those are the rules I guess

 

[scottywiper]

Well that's pretty insane

 

[largebus]

If some boats tack in one direction and the wind then shifts behind them one group can run downwind without having to tack.

In this case the two upwind legs were done so any advantage would've been minimal

Australian holds world record for about 5 mins. Literally.

Channelling his inner Drew McIntyre

Fantastic effort Keefer. 17 y.o.
Made it to the final 8.

90.10...on 3rd run!

 

[eth-dog]

Bailey Lewis loses but Jaboudi is the favourite so a repachage chance. Even so, if he gets to the bronze medal match, Park Taejoon will be favourite

 

[myblueroan]

So 2 aussies in skate final.
1 finished 1st in heat. The other 5th.

Was so composed, must be inspired after last night.

Laser final back underway and the Brits immediately get a penalty for rocking

 

[largebus]

The markers are totally different positions to account for the wind change

 

[Plugger35]

Will they finally finish the race this time?

 

[FreoGirl]

it's a weird sport (dinghys) to watch

 

[juice t]

Wearn once again exactly where he needs to be

 

[FreoGirl]

how long does this typically go for?

 

[largebus]

how long does this typically go for?

We're halfway already

 

[FreoGirl]

You would feel pretty rooted if they have to start the race all over again

 

[FreoGirl]

Wearn is just having fun out there now
