Goldilocks Syndrome

[Dobbs]

The opening moves:

The wind is blowing from Miller's Island. Saratoga goes for the weather gauge. The British frigate lets it go unchallenged and steers downwind.



The P indicates a 2 point turn to port, the q a 1 point turn to port, and then straight for 5. With the wind on the beam, Saratoga is moving at the medium speed.
