This drill splits the fleet in 2, with half starting on the “front row” and half in the “second row”.
The drill highlights the importance of getting a good start on the line rather than behind the fleet, effectively on a different lower start line.
Boats starting between marks 3 and 4 have to protect their lead, while boats starting on the start line between 1 and 2 must catch up and look for options as they are behind from the gun.
Start the race at the same time for both start lines.
