It seems that there was a lack of communication between the race committee and the competitors at the Great Lakes Championship Regatta. This issue was recently addressed in "Sailing Scuttlebutt". The responses favored more communication between the committee and the competitors.

Unfortunately, in the Hobie class radio use is prohibited. If you turn it on you must retire.

Is this a serious problem for us?
