Now I believe the PRO is responsable for setting the race course .... so if you while racing in your race happen to infringe on another race course my experience leads me to believe that one or both of the PRO's are at fault for not situating/siting their respective race course properly.
In my experience when something like that happens one or both race courses are re-set eliminating any possible incidences. Harry
I agree, but our race was a 25 mile distance race from Dunedin, and the opti's are out of the clearwater pass... differnt cities, and no communication between clubs/races.
I am all in favor of young sailors, but they have a HUGE protected area to sail in, there is no need for them to go out into a crazy pass, with tons of traffic, and dangerious tides and currents. IF they need to go out there for some reason... they dont need to take up the entire pass... they could use 1/2 of it and not stop traffic. and lastly, their chase boats acted in a seriously dangerious way (cutting accross our bows, while under spinnaker) to scream at us to get out of thier way... (when we were over a mile away from any opti at that time).....
