Could I have held my higher line to the finish ball and kept him above it? That is the question. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Yes, you "COULD have done that, and you would have lost the protest if he had chosen to file.
I won that very protest.(one of only two protest hearings I have been required to attend as a skipper in the past 8 years)
It happened at a NAC event.
The Jury Foreman was an internationally qualified judge that was sitting on a jury boat at the finish line and watched the situation develop and play out.
