I will take any objective violation... then apply this minset No harm no foul” is a more practical way to sail. Minor contact or a close incident is viewed as ‘no harm’ you mentioned this kind of behavior in the other thread... So.. the least of the situations is not one of bending the rules for advantage.. just doing... the no harm no foul thing. You simply don't call your own foul. Where does this mindset lead you?..... to me.... it leads to... "what the hell... Make the measurement guy on the scales call me on my soaking wet spinaker... If he misses it... I save a kilo. if not... i put my dry spin in the sock and then head off to sail measurement.... I have the day allocated for this crap...." I think I am failing to persuade anyone that the old game was best.... Maybe I have to look at his alternatives... Are you saying “cheating” is getting worse because of the rules? I don’t agree. Are you saying it’s getting worse because the sailors today are less honorable than they were back in the day? I’m not buying that argument either. Bottom line cheaters exist and there are mechanisms currently in place to deal with those situations and again it’s up to the sailors to exercise the option.
