Hi Hon -

Time penalties are assessed to those teams that attempted to sail the leg, then put the boat on the trailer to make the next checkpoint. Teams that did not make the attempt are DSQ for the event. The amount of the time penalty is under discussion, just as it was after Jensen in the Worrell some years ago. Tough to balance the recognition for teams that made it out (AND back IN!) against the desire/need for sponsored teams to continue. They set a precedent this week by penalizing Tiki White 8 hours (after the last finisher's time) - I expect something along the same lines, but you never know. The intensity of the managers' meeting later today cannot be underestimated. I was there after Jensen - that meeting was not fun.
