Here's what I can gather from this thread.
1: It appears the real fight here is from Franck towards Martin.
2: ISAF and some people in France (or somewhere) concerned with F18s made several mistakes, don't know what to do about it, don't want to own up to it and now have a front-man/fall-guy out to sloppily cover it all up.
3: There is some sort of vendetta against Sail Innovation.
Actually, there's a simpler explanation that. Either the ruling body either has limited facility in English or has little experience with rule clarity and standard operational directive/charter management. Furthermore when dust-ups occur, transparency and expeditious declarations from the ruling body do not seem well-managed or clear. My two-cents, based on my observations.
Such situations reflect a breakdown in communication. These situations do become worse if there are suspicions regarding ulterior motives.
