|    America's Cup 2021, race format question    |
|    20 Aug 21 23:48:44    |
      From: snidely.too@gmail.com              I'm just catching up with March. While my experience has mainly been       with triangular courses, I've done several harbor-to-harbor races (Long       Beach to Catalina and the reverse), but I do know about       upwind-downwind. What's new to me in this race is the "gates" at the       end of each leg, instead of a single buoy. Is there a name for this       format? Have any of you sailed it before?              /dps "I miss Nick"              --       "First thing in the morning, before I have coffee, I read the obits, If       I'm not in it, I'll have breakfast." -- Carl Reiner, to CBS News in       2015.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
