Mark, this misses the point. Everyone wants the events to be fair. Rules help get you there, and when the rules are broken, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they need to be changed to have a fair game.



Yes your right. ... I overstated/mistated.. my point..

Should have left it as... Its a lot of work to make sure the rules keep up with the sport. It is essential that they do though.

Your opti example makes the point that competitors (not umpires or RM) determine the game..

At the same time... It's a troublesome state... maybe if the boats had bumpers... that were removed as you moved up the color scale... I would be less concerned.

(Speaking of juniors... Who are the two girls from Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club who are scoring in the top 10 at the Ida Lewis 420 USSA championships this week? Way to go!... Ditto to the boys at the ISAF championships.... It's tough when you can't find a SL16 to sail before you travel the world to race)
