Event was held with State of Florida and Miami Dade Covid Protocols in force, USA Travel was limited and because of this, also precluded any International travel for International Jury members. Therefore, Jury hearings were held with 2 USA IJ's conducting the in person competitors and (3) non USA IJ's on a Zoom meeting for each day. This system worked with some time constraints. There was an inordinate amount of coordination and communication required to sycnronize several time zones, but the Judges were most accommodating with their standby time.
Apart from the travel and gealth limits, the sailing competition was memorable with fresh breezxe on Biscayne Bay every day on an average from 14 to 20 knots, save for one day with wind exceeding class limits and racing postponed. The final day concluded with 9-11 knots of champagne sailing conditions. - USATR23
