The event was a great success. A number of factors contributed to this.
From a general point of view
1) The quality and warmth of the welcome from RBYC, both its staff and all the volunteers involved in the organisation.
2) The location of the RBYC and its facilities for both competitors and officials.
3) The ease with which the sporting side of the event could be managed, with all the races taking place at a single club.
4) The officials supervising the event were very competent and experienced.
5) The daily briefings between the coaches and officials ensured good communication between the officials and the participants.
From a jury point of view:
1) The members of the jury were competent and experienced.
2) Each national judge was able to spend a day on the water with a different international judge to improve their experience.
3) The fact that there were 7 judges meant that there were always three jury boats on the water, with two judges on board each boat, and a judge on shore to handle protests and make arbitration as soon as the first competitors returned to shore.
4) The jury boats made available for judging rule 42 on the water worked perfectly and were much appreciated.
5) The ONB has been mastered by all the judges.
6) The jury room was the board committee room, with a large television used during our briefings and also during the hearings to watch videos produced by the parties.
