Interesting footage....big fleet at the start but a small/short start
line for such a large fleet...that aside.....the boat over the line
early was clearly in the wrong and never should have turned back into
the fleet on the starting line.....where I have raced, when you cross
before the start, you first and foremost keep clear of all the other
starting boats and when the opportunity arises and you can turn back to
round either / or the Committee boat or the pin side and then come back out.
Lucky for the boats and fleet it was a light wind or a lot of other
collisions might have occurred.
Lesson....don't go racing if you don't know the rules.

All this discussion on rules while NOT racing. Here's an incident from
last Wednesday night's race in New Orleans. How NOT to start a race.
Enjoy.
