There seems to have been an outbreak of common sense at ISAF. The modifications to the rules seem to have tidied up a fcouple of unintended but potentially messy scenarios. http://www.sailing.org/raceofficials/30291.php Gordon ------------- Gordon |

Link to Y&Y article ( http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/?article=149666 - clicky ) and ISAF Supplement ( http://www.sailing.org/rrs/supplement1 - clicky ). Anyone care to explain exactly what the scenarios are that have bought about these changes? I am assuming it is do to with a port tack approach to a WW mark that is to be rounded to port.... ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |

Because... at the windward mark, for the port-tackers, there is a bit of a conflict between the 'windward boat keep clear' call on one boat, and 'water to bear away behind a starboard tacker obstruction' on the other - resulting in a nasty crunch! ------------- " rel="nofollow - http://www.bloodaxeboats.co.uk" rel="nofollow - http://www.bloodaxeboats.co.uk Andy P foiling Int Moth GBR3467 Freedom 21 Codling |

Cheers guys I am pretty sure I know what the issue was now. Thankfully no one has tried that near me I would not have known what to do.... ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |
