The issues I had with chase boats weren't when they were standing by sinking boats. That's certainly not a problem.
I 'm also pretty sure Lars (the A cat) got towed in (with bows up on the transom) by Andrew Gaynor. An Acatter that wasn't racing. He's on Team Oracle.The VX1 support boat was one of the clueless obstacles I was referring to.
All told I think you did a fine job.Passing out cold beers would've made it even better. Maybe next year.
I do believe the protest committee set a dangerous precedent in ruling both boats (A cat vs. f-18)at fault, when it was clearly a windward /leeward issue.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
