A beautiful sailing venue with good conditions. The full schedule was realised. A standout feature was that 9 hearing requests were lodged after racing on the last day (one hour before scheduled prizegiving), including two involving RRS 69, and two that directly affected the overall podiums, so there was pressure on the jury to perform before prizegiving. The team worked well together, and prioritised hearings, although the last hearing only ended 23h25, well after the ceremony. In part, splitting the small jury into two panels helped tremendously. Organisers worked hard to deliver in sometimes trying circumstances. - RSALS2
