It pits two crews against each other in a mano-a-mano battle. Race Format The most exciting time of a match race is during the three-minute pre-start. The pre-start period involves fascinating jostling involved as one crew tries to gain control over its opponent. The two yachts enter the area defined by the two ends of the starting line (the start box), with one on starboard and the other on port. A starboard tack yacht always has right-of-way over a port-tack yacht, so the port-tack yacht must always keep clear. But the starboard-tack yacht is burdened because it is the windward yacht (the one closer to the wind). A windward yacht must always keep clear of a leeward yacht. In match racing the turning marks are left to starboard (the right-hand side of the yacht). This has a subtle but profound effect on the action because of the way the racing rules are applied. Simply put, the leading yacht has a great deal more control over its opponent. 03.11.2009 - CHRISTIAN SCHERRER STARTET MIT ALL4ONE AN DER LOUIS VUITTON TROPHY IN NIZZA Copyright © 1996-2016 - SEGEL.DE
