Highly competitive event with many hearings. Arbitration was very helpful towards giving a good service to competitors. Great race management and overall organisation. There were two interesting situations involving hearings:
1. Just before the warning signal of the second race of the final series, a sailor was injured by another boat who was breaking a rule of part 2, and couldn't race in races F2 through F4 of the final series. Incidentally, the sailor who injured was exonerated because it was found as a fact that she had been compelled to break a rule by the actions of an unidentified boat. The injured sailor initially requested redress for the second race, but after medical attention requested a reopening and asked that the redress extend to races F3 and F4. The jury decided to award average points for races F2 and F3 of the final series, taking the average over races F1 and F5. The jury also decided not to give redress points for race F4 and let his DNC stand, as giving redress for this race would grant an excessive advantage to the injured sailor and would be unfair to the rest of the fleet.
2. The sailor who had been leading the championship up to the last day, had a very bad result in the last race of the final series. He protested a boat under rule 2 for obstructing him in an unsportsmanlike way during the race, thus aiding a competitor of the same country to win the first place. During the hearing, the jury realised that there was a possibility of mistaken identity, and therefore protested another boat from the same country who might also have been involved. Although the protesting sailor brought in 3 witnesses to give evidence, in the form of a subjective perception rather than an actual incident, the jury decided that a breach of rule 2 hadn't been clearly established and dismissed the protests.
