Excuse me?

Where am I bashing the RC? or the organizers?

The rule was in the SI and the RC didn't follow it or back it up. Shame on them.


That just rings of "they did a great job and they should be applauded for their efforts." I guess we have a different way of telling people that we appreciate their work here in the South.

"As determined"? Who the heck would write that without the expectation that it would be a valid reading, not just a guess.


So now we're into subjective rules interpretation.

am clearly stateing the facts for those that seem unable to grasp that it is a basic rules question. Nothing more and nothing less.


I'm sorry, but you're not the one that gets it. You're the one that doesn't see the problem with winning through litigation. I don't give two craps if the racers WERE within the letter of the rules (which I'm still not convinced that they are), pulling something underhanded like this just makes me ill, and its pretty clear to me that I'm not the only one that has a problem with it.

There is a reason I am so emotional about this. It gets under my skin to see people act like this. The fact that you and others dont see it as any big deal makes me even more mad.

I know that this whole ordeal finalized which boat I'm going to eventually purchase.
