I'm really sick and tired of the constant deliberate crashing to force penaltys on others. In real life there are very little crashing and it's shame on you if you steer right into a competitor even if you have the right of way (witch isn't even the case in most crashing here).
I suggest that any crashes that occur within 2-5 seconds after a course change against each other force penalty on both boats in a first step to make this game less of a bumper car-contest.
I would even see some actually sinking when boat crash to hard into each other or some kind of lasting damage to really force people to avoid it and see the danger of such a behavior!
So grateful…as one matures in this VR space, the less attractive it becomes due to deliberate and prohibited avoidance of contact….it reduces the level of reality and several of us are engaging less…it’s the slow rising temp that will kill the frog.
One method is to more realistically reduce the tacking and steerage spped to a realist level. A laser cannot jibe that fast…I race VX, Laser and large boats,,,,none are able to navigate turns this fast. That will greatly increase realism and reduce cowboy mentality on the race course.

Totally agree. The game as it is promotes scoundrelship not sportmanship.
The rule is quite simple to simulate - the yacht with a right of way has to keep course for (i.e.) 2 s. before the collision, or it is pennalized.
