I agree Matt it was lame race management. However not because they should have finished the other 6 on the course. They couldn't have done that because some were on opposite sides of the course and there was no way to give them places 9-14 correctly. I've never heard of a committee finishing boats on the course and giving them all 9's. They should have finished us at A mark but they were stuck finishing other boats so they couldn't move. Had they had another boat capable of taking finishes they should have done them at A mark. However I think by putting the rule I mentioned in the race instructions it would take away the chance of this happening again.
