I agree - common sense- return the separated crew and let them effect the righting and sailing with no penalty (they're probably going to be last anyway). Help with righting would DSQ

But were we originally talking about the youth sailing events? Should a youth team be allowed righting (or other) assistance with no penalty?

And I'm not talking about "youth" like Reiss or Casey. Those F*ers don't need no stinkin' assistance They can usually sail faster sideways than some of us can sail "regular"
