Four races were held on Day 1 of the Rolex Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix and with 12 F50s on the start line, getting a good start was difficult, but often key to getting a good result.

Mark Jardine, Managing Editor of Sail-World.com and YachtsandYachting.com, takes a look at the different strategies and what positions paid off, and also looks at Rockwool Team Denmark's collision with a leeward gate mark, which resulted in the loss of the sacrificial tip of their port T foil.
