The boat closest to the starting line isn't always the one that makes the best start.
Speed, acceleration and timing can matter more than position.

@philipmrussell.bsky.socialTwo boats cross the start line together. Same speed. Same time.
Yet one may already be nearly 9 metres ahead!

@philipmrussell.bsky.socialYou had the perfect sailing plan.
Then another boat arrived.
That's the difference between strategy and tactics.
