agreed... But if they go after the sailors that means every sailor is excluded form any other ISAF approved event... State, National and international events.
Not an issue for non ranked sailors.. BUT a huge issue if a ranked crew sails... Imagine what the fuss would be if the Holland T team sailed and was scrubbed at the olympics because they sailed at the event... Possible yes it has happened.. probable dont know...
If I was a ranked sailor I definately would think 4 times before attending....
It's not just ranked sailors, it is anyone with a ISAF sailing number. I have one and so do (to a certain extent) have to be carefull.
