It's impossible to enforce the use of a tether once the team leaves the beach, at best it will be a guideline and a personal choice made by the team.
Sailing is not football... it's not a game about what you can get away with under the nose of the official... its not about bending the rules....
Agree with the rules or don't race... You follow the rules... or you don't race sailboats... It should never be about enforcing the rules.
