I think most, even on this forum, maybe even on SA, would agree that abandoning the race after because everyone has gone home is a reasonable action!
[added later - umm, yes, I take Gordon's point in the next post]

Brass - if you read my reply carefully I said that when there is no time limit the Race Committee cannot abandon a race simply on the grounds that there are no finishers. The other conditions for abandoning a race as set out in rule 32.1 still apply.

If the SIs allow for different scores for  DNC as compared to those boats that did come to the starting area this is an important point. It might well be deemed unfair to the boats that did make the effort to turn up  to abandon the race.
