Simplifying the RRS -> Hello anarchy, or? - 11/06/08 10:34 AM
Gurra Krantz proposes to toss the RRS and go on with just one rule. If you hit another boat, you are both out.
They are going to test this in Stockholm, and evaluate wether this concept works and eventually what rules are absolutely needed.
They are also going to experiment with courses, to make boat handling more critical than top speed.
What do you think. Is it a good idea to toss todays rules out the windows and start with white pages? I actually think it might work, and would be pleased to see todays ruleset with their accompanying cases go out. You need to be an international jugde to be on top of all the rules and their interpretations. This creates more trouble than good on the course and within the sport in my opinion.
