A 3 boat final is just horrible, sorry it’s how I feel. And it’s incredibly unfair too to the winner of the series as they get one race to get familiar with the conditions of the day. It’s not hard to make it better.

I do think they should have a kind of warm-up race on finals day, yes. A race or something with everyone who races on finals day, which doesn't count for anything other than getting familiar with the conditions.

 

The knockout format itself can stay, as far as I'm concerned. But you know, different people, different opinions

Shock horror someone who had been racing all morning on the course beat the guy that hadn't, but had been the best all week

Nope, Van Opzeeland was the one in the final who had been racing all morning.

I wouldn’t be against a knockout format either, preferably with minimum 4 boats per race.

Nope, ISR was in the semi final, so had a race to get used to conditions.

Nope, Van Opzeeland was in the quarter final, so had three races. Reuveny had two.

Bigger shame was that the race was recalled for nothing: they thought it was a false start, but it wasn't

The men were all close in the standings so it's not comparable to the women's event.

 

But I checked and Wilson suffered the same fate in the 2024 and 2023 WCh after clearly winning the series...so maybe it's her own limit of not being able to deliver in a single race with all the pressure on her.

It is part of the game. Don't just be good in qualifying, be good in finals if you want to win..
