A report alleging poor sportsmanship was submitted to the Jury by the tactitian on a boat that had been the protestor in a protest found to be invalid. The allegation was against the protestee in the invalid protest. The said allegation was investigated by the jury which determined that a hearing was not warranted.
In a Black Flag start a boat which was identified OCS was found to have been compelled to break rule 30.3 and was therefore exonerated. However, the said boat had, on being advised that she was OCS by radio, retired and had therefore not sailed the course and complied with rule 28.1. The jury found that the boat had not been compelled to break rule 28.1 and declined to reinstate the boat or grant redress.
The contrary very light wind conditions made race management very difficult. The Race Officer handled the conditions in a calm careful manner. However, there were long postponments which some competitors found frustrating.
Courses were generally true and the starting lines square with the wind.
The RC's task was made more difficult by the undisciplined starting behaviour of many boats when starting which resulted in General Recalls and the RC having to to apply rules 30.1 and 30.3 to get races under way.
