Louis Vuitton Trophy... Day 4
Racin' means rubbin', right?
Or rammin' in this case.
Sailboat racing has very clear right of way rules, for obvious reasons.

As the university of Illinois sailing Team Staff adviser, and a sailboat racer myself, let me tell you, those rules are the hardest to understand, enforce or even judge.
"room at the mark", or "starboard right of way" are damn near impossible to teach, you have to live them to understand them and lose a few protests to be able to use them....

As a former crew member of a racing sailboat team, I find this comment laughable. I can only conclude you've never actually read them.
No, I have never read them, but I do remember a lot of "right of way"! "right of way"! shouts from my time on a Santana 22.
I guess I should not have said "clear"... maybe "comprehensive"... or just "a lot"
yea... much of sailboat racing is who can yell their protest first and loudest.
3 days to fix??? Looks like a little duct tape and they're back in business or run down to the hardware store for a fiberglass repair kit - back in action in an hour tops....
Well the deed to the Clarissa's house was on the line and Teddy's dad had already tried the crossbow.
Looks like someone tried to steal someone else's wind and got a bent boat.
