At 2 minutes.. So overtaking boat must keep clear. Then we have an overlap of 2 inches and the helmsman throws the bow at the lead boat causing contact and wants a protest. Pretty sure you have to allow the boat being luffed time to maneuver or at least hail your intentions. You also must avoid contact whenever possible so there's a lot going on here.
Awesome action capture, thx!!!😊
Amazing pre-start battles. Intense.
Shame there was no clock so we could appreciate the countdown.
Thank you for the suggestion ........ I'll see if I can work something out for next time :)
Nice

I think that's why they are training ... "Amazing" is a tad strong but there is good boat control going on and good teamwork which is important.
Foolishness to try to disqualify each other.
