There was some change sometime regarding how many team members can assist a boat through the surf to the finish. At one point, it was only one team member allowed to assist at the start but two could assist at the finish but I do remember a time when only one was allowed to assist in the surf at the finish. Richard (team manager) said something changed - but I don't recall what or when. We were pretty focused on the racing and since Richard and Cary were doing such a great job, David and I were only concerned with the boat. The rules on the Tybee500 website do cover this. The change may have had something to do with the altercation between the race official and somebody's boat
