An excellent event with good organisation and race management.
One member of the International Jury was unable to attend at the last minute due to illness, but the remaining five members were still properly constituted and worked very well together.
A number of sailors requested redress for a race sailed in very light winds, which they considered to be 'unfair' despite the vast majority of sailors completing the course (albeit shortened at the end of the second beat for one fleet). Requests were not granted on the basis that the race committee did not act improperly in allowing the races to continue. - GBRGL21
