Tangling with the committee boat

Post by WaveyDavey »

Despite the shame of my two black flags during the nationals, I'm thankful that I did at least avoid taking any lumps out of the committee boat.

For anyone who did hit the committee boat, you can take comfort that it happens to the professionals too:

There's another view of the incident taken from the two boats leeward of the one that hit the committee boat.
