What does one of the most explosive boxers in history have to offer regarding leeward mark roundings? More than you think.
Sometimes, the key question isn’t whether you break cover, it’s when. A little dance at the windward mark plays out as well as could be expected for the trailing boat.

A rounding tack at the leeward mark can put you in control. The key is to anticipate the need and tack first. “From the Experts” in our October 2010 issue
