This has been a problem in the past.
Portsmouth has no rules, each class has their rules, and PRO's have different opinions of what is required for a fair race. To avoid problems I normally list the minimum wind speed in the NOR. The template I used specified, 5 kts as measured by the Race Committe.
Sorry I missed the race, this year is just bad for me.

Carl,
That very statement in the SI's created a world of pain and disharmony at the 2005 NAF18 North Americans. Seems the judges didn't think the PRO did a good enough job of "determining" he had 5 knots and threw a race out (although the PRO felt he had the wind). Best thing to do is leave it out all together and let the PRO use his discretion to decide if there is enough wind for a fair race. Adding that wording only cracks open a door.
