Not sure what you're talking about... I race with Mike K, David L, and Nigel on a regular basis and haven't ever seen them in any collissions. They are all top notch sailors. I'm sure the collission was accidental. But that is not the issue here.

This A/B fleet format severally penalizes you if you get a DSQ... For the top teams, it double penalizes you since you can get no better than an 11th on your next race.
