Those boats sail around 15 to 20 knots. It looks like the course is about .5 x 1.5 miles which means about 5 minutes per leg. That seems a bit short. I can understand the desire to have an in-shore course with visibility from shore. They are trying to create a spectator sport. Maybe they would be better off racing in Optis to keep the course short. It would also help to keep the costs down.
