Chris, I think Mike has said he was fouled.
I don't think he said that here, and I didn't hear him say that at the event. In any case, who wasn't fouled. ;-)
Good topic. Nice advice to Darryn regarding the letter. However, I would not be so quick to suggest he leave the club before exploring option with the RC for better organization of the racing. A 10 boat one design fleet to race regularly with is pretty good incentive to look for other solutions first. I'm not saying that the Sharpie fleet is right in ignoring the rules, just that the RC - with a few suggestions - could be more proactive in insuring less fleet/fleet convergence on the course - specifically at mark roundings. After all that's part of doing a good job as an RC, and this approach potentially offers the most expedient solution.
