Call me a Corinthinan if you will, but I detest shaping sailing to a sponsor's demands for spectator engagement.
Sailing is expensive. Put up or go home.
No sponsors.
Race for racing's sake.

The idiocy of these gajillion dollar boats not having a camera and screen and a proximity warning system of some kind is hard to understate. It's Ocean Gate levels of rich guys playing hubris.

It's still the responsibility of BOTH parties to avoid a collision. Call a penalty and deal with it later.

This whole 'in port' series stems from the previous Volvo Ocean race series and is designed to increase public awareness of the race, which is a good idea, but has to be done safely.
The speeds with which these boats approach each other compounds the problem, especially since they can't see the crew of the other boat. A skipper or tactician must make early decisions and then adjust accordingly. It doesn't look like Guyot did any of that.
In port racing is difficult, even in open cockpit boats. I've seen so many races where one skipper didn't fully understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing and got himself, his boat, and other boats in trouble.

Reminds me of Antigua Week 1998 . I was Bow on a 65fter . I had agreed with the American Dr owner that there would be no shouting. First leg and he seemed to be holding a Board Meeting with his other Drs while helming. We were on Port and I ended up yelling 'George' pointed at my eyes then at the Stbt tacker about to sink us. Both tacked away with millimetre clearance,
Race 2 I just yelled 'INCOMING...STARBOARD TACKER.' Then 'Hold your course. You will go clear'. Which we did .
But dont expect professional sailors to muck it up like THIS tho !

What a total waste of precious resources!
These self-aggrandizing narcissists need a reboot to make them more aware of the damage their endeavours are doing to the environment.
