It surprised me because they all started at the same time yet the
Harmony 22 and J24 came in ahead of the Hunter another 30' boat and an
Olsen 29. The Harmony was across the start seconds before the start so
had to do a 720 before proceeding yet still beat the bigger boats.

THe Olson 29 is supposed to be a pretty fast boat. Was it a light wind race?

And a 720 is not an exoneration for being over the start line early. One
must return *fully* to the pre-start side of the line... there are a
couple of special cases.

Being race committee is fun and a good way to observe other folks
sailing... good way to learn.
