Terry Hutchinson provides rules of thumb for when to foot and when to pinch.
When there’s current flowing across the starting line, there are opportunities aplenty to score the perfect start.
An OCS on the second day of the Melges 24 Worlds in Miami serves as reminder of how to claw your back to the front of the fleet.
The favored end of the starting line may be favorable most of the time, but when it’s shifty, ignore the opposite end at your own peril.
When you find yourself heading back to the line to restart, don’t despair, there’s a whole racecourse ahead to get back in the race.
Everyone is bound to have an occasional bad start. If and when you do, just look for the exit signs and make your move when opportunity knocks.
If it’s correct that data never lies, then nearly 50 years of start and first-beat data give the low-down on how and when to pick a side.
