Scoob -

I'd agree with you on the race conditions generating protests between competitors, but there is talk that some (maybe many?) of the protests were filed by the RC against competitors... I'm re-reviewing the NAF-18 rules now so that I don't get sideways at Nationals. Didn't realize that the jib must be able to furl from the tramp during racing. I have a furler, but hadn't run any line to it. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Also noticed that the NAF-18 logos have to go on the port and starboard hulls under the rear beam... right where my "Capricorn" logo is. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Just wondered what the Worlds-level RC protests might have been about.
