Be careful here folks with spin. First, employing match racing tactics against another competitor is perfectly legal and I'm sure that Robbie Daniel was expecting it from Johnny and Charlie. Johnny Lovell is an excellent match racer (he won the US Sailing Prince of Wales Championship one year) and I was not surprised at all to see them "go after" Robbie and Hunter since they knew they were the only competition.

Regarding the protest about the team racing, perfectly legal to file a protest if you feel it happened because team racing is not permitted. The facts found by the protest committee did not support it. Suggest this forum leave it at that. If you weren't there, you don't know.
