latest news - his DNE has been downgraded to a DSQ and the Rule 69 hearing closed with the allegation dismissed |

Once you get your 3rd rule 42 (and subsequent offences) you have to retire and are scored a non discardable disqualification. If you don't retire you are sent home.
So basically the Greek sailor is now on a tightrope.... |

112 info request is indeed interesting - but we will never know. No TV pictures and no GPS. Getting redress isn't going to be easy - - it never is.
It does look as if the NOR Finn has lost the plot - and what happened to the GRE Finn - has he had enough? |

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Hmm...not like he was having a great regatta anyway..but he'd come 3rd behind ben & scheidt in savannah, so not exactly a duff yotter.. Interestingly though he's currently been scored a DNE in respect of the protest. - which is from breaching RRS 2. I would guess he probably shoved the other boat off backwards in the heat of the moment (or similar) which would probably breach 2 which is probably why the committee want to give him a 69.. Probably be time to be looking up the times for flights home... |

Looks like he wasn't happy with the earlier decision and may have done something he will regret ... |

Whatever the Norwegian has done it isn't good, that's a rule 69....
The non discardable comes from the Rule 2 (Fair Sailing) infringement. I'm guessing he lost the plot then... Edited by Lukepiewalker |

Probably the keel fairing or something, at a guess.
