What this video covers

RS Tera sailors compete at the Burnham Sailing Club Eastern Championships on 13 September 2026, with Paul filming from a safety boat to give competitors footage for self-review.Watch A strong cross-tide pushes boats toward the start line repeatedly throughout the day, creating a recurring problem at the start.0:22 The start line runs from a transit at the sailing club on the left to a pin-end buoy marked by a small flag.0:56 At the first windward mark, a port-hand rounding causes a rules incident: the first two boats round to starboard, and a third sailor initially follows before correcting to the proper port rounding.1:55 Race 3 opens under a black flag; boat 2897 is disqualified but continues the race for practice.11:28 The footage is intended as a learning tool — sailors can review their own starts and mark roundings, and study how racing rules apply in real situations.0:11 Cross-tide at the start line is identified as the dominant tactical challenge of the day.
