That story sounds about right. I saw the jib get changed before it left for the event. But you'll have to take my word for it.
Think about it. They knew about the measuement before the event. Would it seriously be in their interest to leave the boat as it was in February.
Like i said before it sounds like those kids were bullied out of their result by older, wiser and more experienced crews. Not the first time something like that has happened.
I cant understand how you could throw out a team for measurement issues without actually measuring the boat? Ridiculous!! As specially at the end of the regatta.
