Well ..........
Since Mr Matt Bounds and yourself are the two most senior Race Officers and are well known to US Sailing could the two of you take this "issue" to the US Sailing for the rest of us and obtain a official suggestion/ruling from the US Sailing Rules Committee????? This seems to be the best solution vs stopping the racing, have everyone "Bobbing up and down" for awhile, while the race course is re-configured .... (I hate bobbing up and down!!!)
Please, O', Please, O' Please ....
