Question 1: does BAD have troubles this year with steering?

Question 2: since I have only raced on the coast, where is the trailing official boat?

The wind that day was blowing quite hard out from the shore, which meant a very strong pull toward the shore while the boat was moving.

The lack of dragon heads on the boats was due to one of them being broken off in an earlier collision (not involving any teams in the video).

Strictly speaking, the video does not show a drill, since it does not run long enough to show anyone turning the boat right side up and bailing it out.

no, really?  Shocked
i don't think the original poster was meaning that there was a full recovery shown in the video.

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.
