The event was a non-stop two-handed race from Caen to Ireland and back.
Although there was only one protest hearing, it was significant. One of the competitors had some electrical problems, and decided to conserve power by switching off the compulsory AIS transmitter and not responding to satellite phone calls from the organizing authority, even though the satellite phone was required to be available at all times. No attempt was made to notify the race committee of these issues, and the boat did not respond to other attempts to contact her.
There was a hearing after the boat finished, in which she was penalized by 6 hours - which was more than sufficient to move her to last place amongst the boats that actually completed the course
