“Nathan Outteridge, the helmsman for Artemis Racing, Mr. Simpson’s team, said in an interview last week he believed it was “pretty likely” that a boat would capsize or crash during the competition, given the bay’s harsh sailing conditions and a new design of the boats in this year’s race that made them faster but less stable.”
If so, why is he even on the boat....
As an aside, I've been racking my brain about the "bear away" maneuver. It used to be named another way, and I can't remember either it or the "call" that it was about to be performed. Any sailors out there?
