Races may be abandoned if the Race Officer determines that fair sailing has been compromised and shall be abandoned if security and safety is no longer guaranteed.
Wow.... you have a PRO who will do this...
"guarantee safety"???
A better choice of words should be used but I think you can read between the lines of the intent.
As we always say, ultimately it is the skipper's call on whether to race or not. Last year's Alter Cup Area "C" Qualifier started with sustained winds of 20-22, +3' seas, rain, and temps in the 40s. Of 21 entries, 5 dared and competed on day 1.
