Ted ruffled some feathers when he sailed the Pan Am trials in 2002 single handed.He was kicking butt until a couple of the top guy went to the higher authorities made sure he was up to min.Unfortunatly for Ted after a long sail in from the course and no water,he was a couple ounces under minimum.Let,s just say if he was not DSQ ,d in all those races ,pretty sure he would have been the Pan Am rep.
Lesson to be learned to all teams weighing in close to min.,drink water and have a few extra lbs of weight on your boat.Very easy to lose 5 lbs on a hot windy day on the water.
