Based on Current Entries list, four classes, or groups, are shown. I thought Alter Cup qualifiers were, or had to be, one start for all boats?

Phil actually pushed that to a hearing and didn't just retire? Seems hard to believe...
Mike No, it's more likely that the RC overstepped its authority. RC cannot DSQ anybody. Only a PC can do that (thus Mike's comment). Same result though. RAF / DNF / DSQ all have the same points. Light air is not the 17's strong suit anyway. | | | Re: Area F qualifier/Wurstfest II Regatta

Posts: 606 League City, TX | I was actually hoping that wasn't the case at a USSA Area qualifier. Perhaps the SIs allowed that (although even harder to believe)?
Mike What were you hoping wasn't the case? The wind? - it was light on Saturday, but blew 15, gusting 20 on Sunday for both races. I mentioned the DSQ from memory - but as Matt points out RAF or DNF would be the same score and I was not party to the situation. There was no minimum wind requirement in the SI. After the infamous "Windgate" I'm comfortable with that. I thought there was enought wind on Saturday to run a good race. The conditions were challenging - with un even pressure and some holes - but everyone had the same information and so it came down to the skill of the sailor (putting yourself into the pressure and avoiding the holes).

Posts: 217 | I don't believe the results will show a DSQ, I think they will show a RAF. I believe Phil retired after finishing, based on comment he made to me after the race. He missed the offset mark first lap, went around it on 2nd lap. Yes, it's an unfortunate mistake to make after driving all that way. He sailed much better on Sunday, too bad we couldn't have had a 3rd race on Sunday, there sure was good wind at the time.

Posts: 606 League City, TX | Results are now posted (the scorer had some Sail Wave nightmares). They do show a DSQ for Phil - but as previously highlighted I'm not sure that is the correct code (but the score would not be different if it was RAF). I'll follow up with the scorer. Chris. | | |
