Have I missed something?
Is this a discussion on something that didn't actually happen? |

There's no controversy this year, even the so called 'clash' between the Aeros and Zeros just turned out to be a great way to go racing folks in similar enough boats.
So the forum hive brain has momentarily crapped-out, starting to spool-through the archives and back-ups in search of some Error 55's or other acts of extreme deviance......

I'm sure someone, somewhere was using a boat with an illegal pintle spacing, or maybe wasn't carrying a paddle when class rules say you have to, or was sailing a Topper with a rig off a Flying Dutchman without telling anyone, but no one noticed.

That would be good to see, i think the foot length of an FD genoa can't be much shorter than a topper. |

They probably were, but everyone was too busy nursing tea and hot chocolate to either a) notice or b) give a crap

Surely, more likely that an FD would hoist a Topper sail if it was that windy

It's known as the FrankenBosun! I don't know if it still exists.... But I was once loaned it for a Nationals in one of it's less extreme development versions. It had a dispensation.....until I was second overnight. Then I was subject to a measurement protest. So I asked for the Class Rules. I was told that there were none. A Bosun measured or did not measure if the Chief Measurer said it did. So I asked who that was. It was the bloke in third. Who was the protestee. Protest to be heard after racing. Protest went away when we finished fourth to his third! And the moral of the story is...... Don't sail Bosuns. (even if they are free, had a forty boat fleet and made for useful practice for Services Team Racing).

You have to watch out for the Irishmen coming the other way on their waterskis on that lake.
