Y’re all right here Pete – I’ve been both coaching Opti kids as well as sitting in the comittee boat so I can agree what you describe. But the strategy is not so uniqe – almost everyone is thinking the same and as a result are more conservative and stuggling for a ‘stealth mode’ start. More things to be avare of: It the BFD start goes off and then a general recall You must immediatly ‘dive down’ / bear off and hide. Many do the mistake to continue in close hauled course fully visible.
