VIDEO OF THE WEEK
For the American ‘buttheads, this week leads to the Thanksgiving Day holiday on
Thursday, and all but six of us should give thanks that we were not involved in
this two boat collision last weekend. While November frostbiting in Essex, CT
with Etchells appears to be much more civil approach to this winter past time
when compared to the dinghy option, the goal still should be to enjoy some
outdoor activity but then ultimately retreat indoors for warm drinkies ... and
not somewhere to file insurance claims. Perhaps the changes in 2009 to Rule 18
from a two to a three length zone around marks will help to alleviate incidents
like this in the future. Click here for this week’s video:
