HEY ARGENTINA GIRL, YOUR CAPS LOCK IS STUCK AGAIN! ARE YOU THAT MAXIMA WHO MARRIED OUR KING? DUTCH KING? ANYWAY, GET YOUR CAPS LOCK REPAIRED! THIS IS STUPIDO!
These extreme routing decisions are interesting. Once I did that in an open boat regatta. I knew that lake, I knew the cummuli cloud streets, I knew the shortest route would suck. That regatta was not important anyway, we had nothing to lose. So we went to the other side of that water, picked up wind, sailed past the entire fleet and at the finish we still were pretty average, but not at all the last boat. The others were very surprised, where did you come from?! For an old and slow boat we had had a very good day! Sometimes you got to take an educated risk, when a detour looks faster. This is the world of small sailing boat regatta's, with complicated islands that make the wind shift, with options like pulling up the keel and escaping between two tiny islands, luring the competing boats into no-wind-spots. It is local knowledge and being extremely smart, and knowing your boat like a pro, that makes the difference. When an old man shouts, hey, hoist your mainsail half an inch higher, kid! Well, that is regatta sailing.

Well done team Mirpuri .The wisdom of crowds is definitely not the best way to win .
What is that supposed to mean? You do NOT need stupid crews. Those times are over. Two hundred years ago, they thought like you.
