This was an unfortunate incident. We have an apology which, if we consider ourselves to be good sports, must be accepted as genuine. The results will or will not be changed but will disappear from the web site in a short while, as they all do.

The time to address this was in the protest room on the day by protesting the committee.

Matt seemed the most hard done by here, but I’m sure he now knows what to do if something like this happens again.

Let’s go sail our boats and grow our class, take this one as a lesson learnt, and if it happens again, protest the committee. I am sure most race officers would rather be chilling with a beer than having to hear a protest about our yardstick and I suspect they would get it right going foward.

Not criticizing anyone else’s opinions here... just putting a few of my own smile

Hi Simon,

can't see anything wrong with openly discussing F16's and Mosquito's, the history of which many people do not know as they where not involved with either class, back when the spinnakers started. Which some people seem to misunderstand in recent times, after all Mosquito's with spinnakers first competed in the F16 State Challenge in 2004, (I am just looking at the certificate on my wall to check when it first took place). Funny the F16/Mosquito with spinnaker link hasn't been a problem for 6 years, just this season. confused

I am with Tim on this one, I think somebody is using it as a convenient excuse and I think that the VMCA should ask the PMYC to correct the result. From my understanding (I wasn't there), the results/yardsticks where not published during the regatta giving no time for those that where competing to protest.
