... I would say wrong word... try ONLY the skippers call. His decision can't be contingent on anything else.

I'm not sure I understand... Are you suggesting rules should have been written down and in place before this event?

Perhaps 50% of the registrants choose to race... means no cancel???

It can't work that way because it's just unfair to the teams who prep for that stuff! The PRO is there to judge the conditions for conducting a fair race. His safety concern is for his RC boat and crew and his mark boats and crew.

Last year his judgment was spot on.

If you want a wind speed max because you want to maintain the pretense that single handers and double handers are the same class around the buoys then you should just leave it as... "No races will be started in xx minute average wind speeds over 22 knots".

Say no more... certainly nothing about safety...
