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 use of RRS 44.3 scoring penalties on a basis of an elapsed time penalty worked well across fleets of different sizes.
For a serious collision resulting in Part 2 rule breach with serious damage the DSQ penalty applied under RRS64.1 was insufficient. (An additional points penalty for solely RRS14 could be considered)
The event was the IRC European Championships in conjunction with RORC, coupled with the inaugural Beaufort Cup with the Irish Defence Forces and a Try Sailing Challenge (to introduce new participants to sailboat racing in club supplied sports-boats). It demonstrated the power of leveraging a major event (IRC Europeans) with smaller emerging events that are treat equally and encourage participation.
