Isn't that why there's an RC and PC? If half (or more) of the fleet can't start, someone has to have the common sense to realize that's not a fair race and find a way to deal with it.
I agree with JW (and others), and I do recall the examples where legs have been nuked. That's basically where I was going with that.
As for not leaving the beach and being scored as DNF, and calling that number of finishers plus one, that wouldn't be very fair if one crazy dude started and made it, he gets one less point than everyone else? Or, is that the point, having a less intrusive way to discourage people from going out when it's dicey?
