THIS SECTION MAY BE COMPLETED BY ANY JURY MEMBER
Comments on rule questions, new interpretations, problems, unpopular Rule 62 (Redress) decisions, summary of the facts, conclusions and decisions of Rule 69 (Allegations of Gross Misconduct) actions, problems with Sailing Instructions or Notice of Race and experience with experimental procedures.
Sailing Instructions employed the use of a virtual mark. This mark was described with the name of a nearby fixed government mark but with separate coordinates. This engendered some confusion with the main and jib class who ultimately rounded both marks, resulting in a redress request as well as a protest by the Race Committee under RRS 28. Upon discussing the protest in particular, it was noyed that taken ver batum, the definition of a Mark (which cannot be changed by Sailing Instructions) does not permit the use of virtual marks. comments? - USATR23
