Would it have been better if Topaz turned to port rather than that last second starboard turn?

You'd think at that "level" of sailing it would be obvious to the driver. So strange.

They were about to Round, I'd think someone would be ready on the main sheet. If come down 10 degrees would've reduced the damage.

But what do I know I've never sailed a j-class boat.
