Shoot...I dunno...breaking it down though:

(b) If there is a tie in series scores between two or more boats, each boat's race scores shall be listed in the order of best to worst. At the point where there is a difference, the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat with the best score....

Sooo...we have a tie in score at
Boat A) 1.5,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 : 45.5
Boat B) 1.5,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,2 : 45.5

According to the first part of this rule, we then look at placements and we have a tie again since each sailor had one finish 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc...still a tie.

Quote
If a tie remains is shall be broken in favour of the boat that obtained her best score nearest the end of the series...


Because boat B finished better in the last race, they are now the winner.

Boat A) 1.5,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 : 45.5
Boat B) 1.5,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,2 : 45.5
