New race tactics [Alan Price.]

Sorry Bob,but from the little I saw on TV of the final race, I thought it was a farce.I enjoyed watching the last lap of the 470s last race with the leading three boats so close to each other.The last beat saw no covering tactics and a downwind leg to the finish with the three splitting wide to find a bit extra wind and boat speed making it difficult to be sure who'd be at the line first.Great stuff.
