Underhand tactics

   Somebody layed the marks badly at our club and rope was trailing for a few metres to the side. Not noticing, we rounded the mark perfectly only to get caught on it for a few minutes. Guess what happened on the next lap...... Still able to beat a few other boats which didn't have this problem. Can't blame anyone for those tactics but if you ever find yourself on RO duty bear it in mind to mess up your competetion's results.

	I can't say mine, cause it was thrown out in the protest!! lets just say the guy put me in a position on the starting line that he shouldn't have put me in... lets also just say he had to retire after the start...
