We race on P numbers corrected.
At the start of the 3rd race there was one boat over early, but due to the volume of the call out, nobody was -sure- if he yelled General Recall or what number, and he only said it once. To me it sounded like General Recall, but I was close to the comm. boat, and I know most of the other boats on down the line couldn't hear it either. So, most of the fleet sailed on for about 2-3 minutes, then turned around and went back for a re-start, I know I did.
But I was in no hurry as half the fleet was still sailing on, while half was headded back to the start area. I sailed over to the Com. boat to ask when the next start would be, and Robi said, "It was just one boat..."
SH!T!! By now, just about all the fleet is either at the Com. boat or halfway back to the com. boat, when finally everyone figured out we should all be racing! So it was a very messed up start and first leg.
I think your Dart boat may have never came back, but just kept going, so in effect, the fleet spotted him about 5 minutes or so.
I don't know if he tried to come back or not. There were lots of holes by then as the wind was getting lighter and lighter as the day wore on.
