Just guessing here... I would bet that the Worlds standings are set in stone having already been adjudicated.....

The question was... how do you sanction the sail loft?.. Apparently... you ban the sails from further f18 competition and hope the unhappy owners of now illegal sails sue them and demand their money back. Its probably the best outcome you could hope for. You can't ban the loft from making more sails without the class getting sued by the loft.

The T class did that with the Cuban fiber sails after the Olympics. A few unhappy owners of cuben fiber bolts.

Now the interesting question... would you protest these guys in your regional regatta for using the sail...
