Opinions will always differ especially when you are found to be wrong. So GBR5 WAS likely wrong in their request for redress as that would require an error by the race committee to be proven and a jury has to go on the evidence presented and the facts found. They applied for redress and quite naturally didn’t get any as it was, I imagine a he said/she said situation, and given that during that final minute pre-start the only job of observers on the committee boat is to log sail numbers of boats in the Bermuda Triangle once the U flag drops, I am afraid I would have to go with them. Either they were or they weren’t, the race committee reckoned they were. It appears that his boat applied for redress from a previous race where, starting under the U Flag, they were observed in the dreaded triangle within 1 minute of the start. To ask questions and get answers about this, you have to go back to why FS ( Fynn Sterrit) was unhappy. Race Committee identified and scored them as UFD.
– edĭuring the last minute before the starting signal of Race 1, GBR 5 and AUT 29 were in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line and the first mark. Make sure you never dis or swear or even fart on the racecourse, or at your office or at your home or god forbid here at SA. We have maintained that the “new” Rule 69 criteria is a joke and this protest and appeal are illustrative of just that.
