Just curious if anyone could give an opinion as to how these “rules” by the ISAF would affect a sailor who crewed on a boat that was involved in an elimination series of "match races" between two boats that eliminated the loser of each "match", with the full “series” being raced between a number of boats of twenty or thirty or so from different countries competing, to finally end up with two boats sailing off to determine the eventual winner of the series. Even if it wasn't called "worlds" or any similar type of name, BUT there was prize money at the end of the series (and full sponsorship money) of an amount that way passed the maximum amount that the ISAF approved of. Would that relevant "crew" be "banned" from competing in any future ISAF event (or any sailing event at all -19.1 A competitor whose ISAF eligibility has been suspended or revoked shall not engage in ANY competition in the sport of sailing)??
How would the ISAF rules apply to "professionally" retained sailors?? And on another line. What would happen to a sailor who sailed a class of cat that wasn’t affiliated with ANY club, state or national sailing authority, or the ISAF, and that class of cat organised their own worlds at which that sailor competed at, then after the event that sailor then registered/joined with a club and through that clubs affiliation with it’s local sailing authority etc up to recognition by the ISAF, and he sailed a Tornado (for example), would he be eligible to compete. Bearing in mind that previously he was literally “off the map” (as was the class that he sailed with) as far as the ISAF was concerned?
