Race 4.5 - Protest

23 May 2013 | CYCA Board Room
jT - Rain
A quick update on the protest that happened last night. After 40 minutes of discussion and statements from both skippers, the Protest Committee took time to decide the facts and case.

In the end the protest was dismissed. Per the rules, Sextant had not fully passed through the wind, and therefore was just performing a "luff" into the breeze. Nemesis responded to that "luff" appropriately by keeping clear as the non-right-of-way boat. It was determined that the skipper of Sextant's call of "I'm Tacking" was just an informative statement with no bearing in the rules. All part of the fun and tussle of sailing!

We sat down and had a few beers, rum and cokes with Sextant's skipper - Denis. While we don't see eye to eye on the event, we both had some laughs and a good discussion. I think we've come to know the other skipper a bit better and next time we come together will work it out.

See everyone on Sunday for the next race!
