Matthew,
Actually it was not at all impossible...it happened consistently over 5
races....on the beat, the 33-II would reach the first windward mark
before the 35-II....the 33 always pointed higher...not much changed on
the reach but the 35 gained a few boat lengths...then on the run, 35-II
would take back all the 33-II gained on the beat and then some. The 35
crossed the finish just ahead of the 33
In my opinion, both boats were well crewed/sailed.
What am I saying that is impossible?

That’s interesting. I keep having issues with my local RC because
they set only windward/leeward courses, no triangles and no reaches.
The reported rationale is that “no one ever passes anybody on a
reach.” What you’re saying is impossible.

Some years back when were campaigning a 33-II, we were racing her in
the Bras d'Or Lakes.....there was 35-II from Shediac, NB with a good
crew. The course was a beat, reach and run....every race was the
same, the 33-ii would get to the first windward mark ahead the 35-II,
but once on the reach and run, loose it all back. There was nothing
we could do to change it after 5 races.
