The ILCA 6 was one of the most hotly contested fleets at the 2023 Sailing World Championships, with 5 sailors all able to win the regatta in the medal race.
Nice video. Very informative! For me, it would be nice to cover the start more fully, as that is where I am weakest, but that is just me. Thanks for posting! Looking forward to future videos!
Hello Dan, I’m a Japanese sailor for ILCA6. It’s very good series in your insta and watched interestingly. But why Maud Jayet lost this race even though she is in 3rd for top mark. Please summarize the reasons why. Thank you!
Dan, why did Maud sail away from the competition - she thought she was slower downwind and needed leverage or she had better wind/tide knowledge? Nervous choice?
Without knowing exactly, I'm going to guess it was a nervous choice without consideration of the situation. That said, she's also in a position where she would want clear air, and going left at the top mark could help achieve that.
Very good⛵️
Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Maud sailed too much distance on the first downwind (away from the rhumb line), and also received a penalty.
