I wasn't at this event, and only know a few of the people involved, but the RC-bashing really needs to stop.

While there are some things an RC can do, the reality is that once everyone is on the water, classes will get mixed on the course and need to sail per the RRS.

Yes, it is nice to be courteous to someone in a different fleet (and this often helps your own game), but to beat the dead horse about this being the RC's fault is really getting old.

Congrats to the organizers for running a great event and making lots of money for charity.
