All I'm trying to point out is that the rules are there perfectly clear for anyone to read or take action on. It is not up to the class association to police measurement issues.

The measurers measure the equipment and report what they find. It is up to the individual sailors to protest on any findings. This is where the process has fallen down.

You cannot blame the class rules as Macca is doing. They are fine. If there is a problem with the Shockwave or the SI sails or anything else. Then someone has to be the "bad guy" and file a protest. Forget the were all friends and no one wants to make enemies, these guys were cheating. What's worse?

It's not the fault of the class rules or the race commitee or the f18 council. It's the fault of every individual skipper who allow cheating to go unpunished.
