Did I say 'equilateral' triangle? I think not! So,
there's nothing to stew about.

They use a triangle race course around here almost
exclusively. The leeward mark is the end of the downwind
run. Courses are laid out so as to place the leeward mark
as dead downwind as possible. You start out the course
on a beat, then you reach then you run and then you beat
and then your done.

I know how it works but I still think it is stupid compared
to cruising where you do all those things but you do it for
a purpose other than to see who can strut around at the
after-race beer bash.

Gosh, Beaver!

Didn't I say it was a downwind run? Since when
is the last time you saw racers going around marks
on a downwind run?
