Exactly the reason why the times were not provided. Do not use our Area Qualifier for your petty grievances.
What a nonsense !
Only a week ago you yourself did a "alter cup related - class rules - personal grievances" dance on the F16 forum.
Besides, what is the secret ? We all know Bob is a very skilled sailor (and guys like John Casey, the Mc's and others weren't present this time!). Why not let the elapsed time results proof that he is ? What could be the shame/damage in that ?
We had to hear for long periods of time how the F16 rating was wrong and indeed the F16 class both actively and succesfully campaigned for both rating numbers to be lowered as to be fair to the sailor of other designs. In one case (1-up mode) even from 67 down to 63 ! A precedent for the Nacra F17 to follow ?
Would it be unfair in any way to hold another class to the same standard we (I) have submitted ourselves to in the past ?
So don't give us this BS, just give us the elapsed time results !
Unless there is something to hide of course !
