Thanks Rolf. This is just a case of the uninformed crying foul for no reason. You can not change configuarations in the middle of an event in any class (High level stuff, not the club race) Swapping in a club level event would be fine unless you are just playing the numbers game, and that is just bad sportsmanship IMO anyway <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

If they allowed changes of equipment at the Olympics, I know of at least 1 team who would have been pretty happy <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
