Hi Bob
Was the beach justice meeting written about following this procedure
16. ARBITRATION
All protests involving rules of Part 2 of the RRS shall be first submitted to arbitration. The arbitration procedure will be posted on the Official Regatta Notice Board as an addendum to the Sailing Instructions. This changes RRS Rule 63.
or were the two individuals way beyond arbitration and now in the protest meeting stage.
Sounds like a combination of peer pressure and arbitration could handle john's complaint about frivoulous protests.
I really don't know. I think it was a "formal" hearing because the protesting sailor wrote out the protest form and submitted it and the protest was heard just like any other protest except it was outside.
