This short podcast shows how to avoid the crowd of “Reaching In, Reaching Out” starters and get clear air.  The Vanderbilt start begins with a broad reach away from the line, instead of a typical beam reach strategy.  After making a jibe for the start,  you approach attach the starting line with a confident full speed approach.   This strategy is easy to adjust if you misjudge the distance to the start, and using full speed gives the helm a lot of control to gain tactical advantage over other boats.
