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.
The jury approved by WS was not the jury that served in the regatta (only 2 people had been on the original approved list). The chairman was not asked to be chair until she arrived at the club, which severely affected the jury preparation (reading NoR & SI in advance, etc.). Neither she nor the other 2 judges were invited until 2-3 weeks before the event. - NEDJH5
