Interesting

The answers are close to my thoughts last night. If I were Boat B, I would have either have withdrawn or gotten out the rulebook and started looking for a definition of finishing. I don't think I would have had a chance of winning a protest and it does not really matter what you are scored, if it's not 2 or 3.


Remember the key point is it was very strange how while the race committee was thinking about what to do, the issue resolved itself.

From a big picture point of view, I think the results are correct. We have one skipper whose borrowed boat broke through no fault of his and anouther that did not complete his penalty. It would have been a lot cleaner if the race committee had stayed quiet
