What happens when you change helmsman. LOL. 30-70% fault. Your fault (30%) would be not doing everything to avoid collision. Unless your racing rules are different....His, because port tack, of course.

This regatta Matt drove and I crewed for him. He is new and it was so light there wasn't damage he was trying to avoid but I had gold him opposite of his reaction which caused further confusion and I was actually wrong in telling him to go up he should have ducked, but those things happen sometimes.
