Fog Delay for the World Sailing Blind Match Racing World Championship





Fog threatened the start of the World Sailing Blind Match Racing World Championship, which was supposed to set sail on Wednesday. Postponed to today, NTI's, Mark Bos and Team USA will square off against Great Britain. Mark stated, that the Blind Racing League instituted a new rule to keep the playing field even, Specifically, Mark said the league now "requires Helmsman wear a blindfold or blacked out wrap-around sunglasses." He was able to practice this for the first time on Tuesday, but felt extremely confident. He went on to say, "In the past I did use light dark and the sun for position awareness which is no longer possible due to total black, but we'll adjust."



However, even though there was a delay of the race, it didn't stop Team USA from participating in a the opening ceremony which included Dave Perry being awarded one of the highest Lions Club Awards. Mark stated that "it has been great the trade sailing tips, stories and great camaraderie with some of the best National Women's Match race sellers, some of which placed a medal in the Olympics as well as Paralympics.


Once the race is underway, we'll continue our coverage and updates. In the meantime, NTI and our followers continue to wish Mark and Team USA the best of luck in the competition.

  1. There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.

  2. As the World Sailing Blind Match Racing World Championship competes at its best in wind and wave conditions, it can be difficult to get your crew ready on time to meet the first call of “Fog delay until four o’clock.” Now you can get methstreams to learn more latest technology techniques. This applies particularly to those crews who are anticipating a long day and need as much time as possible to study their opponents, get familiarized with the race area and equipment before transitioning into the pre-start meeting mode.
