A boat is racing the same course as you, you are all bound by the same rules. It doesn't matter how the score is calculated. It doesn't even matter if he started at the same time as you. You *have* to extend to this odd duck the same sportsmanship you extend to your fellow F18. No excuses.
A boat racing on a different course, overlapping your racing area, and you are still bound by the racing rules.
I have found over the last two years of sailing at that club the more waves I make the more my boat gets damaged in the rigging area and more anonomous threatening notes get stuck to my car windshield at the club.
I dont believe it, are you serious? I would be out of the club in an instant with a letter to the commodore (if there was alternative clubs). The bullys would win, but if members are like that I would not want to be part of it. Or I might try to be elected for the board..
