  • I disagree. The sailor in the video is rocking repeatedly - "Repeated means more than one in the same area on a leg". The US Sailing Appeals Committee's guidance is that it includes the pre-start area.

    The sailor does change course, but the change of course is not linked to wave patterns - "ROCK 7  Repeated rolling not linked to wave patterns is rocking prohibited by rule 42.2(b), even if the boat changes course with each roll."

    I cannot find a rule or interpretation that states "Repeated rocking not linked to waves or steering is prohibited." Rather, Rock 7 tells us that repeated rolling not linked to wave patterns is rocking prohibited by Rule 42.2(b), even if the boat changes course with each roll.

    The sailor in the video breaks rule 42.2(b), Rock 7.

  • There's nothing very unique about solo races in that respect. Take for example the Solong/Stena incident where an anchored tanker was hit in reasonable visibility  by another ship under autopilot. The captain is temporarily hosted at one of his Majesty's facilities.

  • Craig .. here's the pic for discussion.

    I've been that starbaord boat .. not on the line but in the middle of the course with no other boats around.  Port was an experienced racer that I knew, we made eye contact and saw each other for 10 BL's. 

    By the time I realized he wasn't doing a last sec duck (main sheet got jammed) .. there was nothing I could do.  I think the rule and Case 87 are fine.

    The starboard skipper would have to possess the presence of mind to actually turn toward the port boat .. if to have any chance at making more space for port.   In the heat of that split moment ... that's a pretty tall ask IMO.  Turning away from the danger (arguably the natural instinct) .. only works to decrease port's space to avoid.
