The race to the finish line on the second and final day of the El Gouna Sailing Festival came down to this: tack now, or tack later? The leading boat, a Hanse 455, was several boat lengths ahead of the trailing Varianta 44. Both were well clear of the rest of the fleet and sailing close-hauled against the light northerly breeze. The finish line, marked at opposite ends by our spectator boat and a bright orange buoy, was well within sight.
What wasn’t immediately clear to me and the other spectators was that if the two yachts held their course, they would sail past the buoy from the outside.
