I only have two things to say.

First, why am I not surprised? I would have probably been shocked if this didn't happen (and if this is the end of it).

Secondly, the "headlands" issue would probably only make sense for a lawyer to try to contend. Has anyone ever sailed offshore in Newport (you know, the place the Americas Cup lived forever)? The islands, bay and river entrances make that place nothing but a series of headlands. That says nothing about Brenton's Reef. To get decent racing, you need to go at least 2 miles offshore.
