Bow Caddy Media got caught in a Dial-Up while shooting a start on Day 5 of Hamilton Island Race Week.
You don't usually expect two supermaxis to get involved in an America's Cup style dial-up contest a minute before the start gun!
But a couple of times this week, Andoo Comanche and Hamilton Island Wild Oats XI have used the start boat or the pin end mark to see if they can peel off their opposite number and gain the upper hand as they cross the line.
And if you're the unsuspecting media boat caught in the middle of the circle work it can be very hard to know which way to go!
