they didn't know how to get a kitty, you have to let it come to you.. loll. that cat did have some serious boatspeed.

Losing a race to boatspeed is fine. You were slower.

Losing one because you rounded the wrong side of a mark you'd been given in writing is a different feeling. That's the one that made me start building.

winds, the skipper of VULNERABLE, tentatively hoisted the smallest morsel of mainsail this morning and by this afternoon had his boat racing at up to 16kts of boatspeed, a little quicker than his nearest challenger ninth placed Justine Mettraux who is poised 15 miles behind this afternoon.

2/5 🧠 Automated Excellence. The win wasn't just about boatspeed, but an ultra-short decision loop between Slingsby, Kyle Langford, and Jason Waterhouse. This allows for near-instant Rake (quête) and flight adjustments, providing a critical edge during high-pressure starts.

5/6 Speed Deficit: Bronze medalists #XammarCardona (ESP) struggled with boatspeed all week. In the #470 One-Design class, even the smallest mast or sail trim adjustment can jeopardize a team's established dominance.

3/6 Tech Focus: The race format.
💡 Medal Race: The final race of an Olympic regatta for the top 10 boats, where points count double. It's the ultimate test where "covering" direct rivals is more critical than pure boatspeed.

1/6 Le plateau IMOCA est stratosphérique : 18 duos, dont 2 neufs, s’élancent sur la TRANSAT CAFÉ L'OR (4350 milles). La météo complexe avec transitions et dorsales rend la course stratégique, pas une simple épreuve de "boatspeed" ! 🤯

It's looking like not doing an extra manoeuvre to do a mark rounding is the play today, even if the other side is favoured at the time. It's too shifty so just keep the boatspeed up.
