I do get the point entirely Dave,
I am not "arguing" for or against, or whether or not the race should have or should not have been cancelled or whether or not anyone/everyone has the right to decide whether or not they will put their "toe in the water", I was just "putting the question" concerning "liability", and I have to say that there have been some excellent responces to that question. Its all good food for thought DAVE!
It has to be good for "we sailors" when people actively talk about ALL aspects of "the sport"
