Varan 2,137 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Did any other vessels hear IB's VHF broadcast? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanghaisailor 1,757 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 20 hours ago, Livia said: Question? 1. Wasn’t IB obliged to inform Celestial on the VHF exchange to the hand held, that IB intended to protest, that was the earliest opportunity. 2. To give redress, didn’t the jury have to find prejudice before giving redress, not that there may have been prejudice. 3. Hasn’t the jury no elevated maintaining a listening watch to an obligation to respond to every transmission immediately. Lastly, seems just an attempt at better optics, not giving enough redress to win but imposing the penalty to get the same result. Logic of the jury seems quite dishonest. Actually the amount of redress given is really quite clever. if they had given more than 3 minutes there would be little or no point in an application for re-opening Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheUltimateSockPuppet 366 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 My maths might be wrong but original corrected times were IB: 4-10-21-51 C: 4-10-18-40 IB after redress 4-10-17-38, leaves me wondering whether the IJ have screwed the pooch and actually intended that it be 3 minutes redress on corrected time 4-10-18-51. Either that or no one on the IJ did the maths properly before handing down the findings because 3 minutes has no relevance to anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a possibility of course that there is a valid and forgivable reason for the 90 min blackout. BASIC PRINCIPLES SPORTSMANSHIP AND THE RULES Competitors in the sport of sailing are governed by a body of rules that they are expected to follow and enforce. But I'm interested, are some people here saying that someone breaking a rule should be ignored, because if you protest you are a cunt? Is there anywhere in the reporting that indicates what the hails were from the other boats? If you want to enforce these vaguely written rules in this chicken shit manner then the defense should be just as chickenshit….the rule requires listening not replying. Prove they were not listening. This should have been dismissed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew AC 1 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Poor sportsmanship from Matt Allen ex cyca commodore I believe. He says he prefers to win on the water yet protests when he doesn’t have to. Question is of course did he influence the rc to protest? He says he’s only been to the room 6 times (guess its 7 now). He doesn’t realise 6 is a lot Going to be tough to be proud of that one on the mantlepiece 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but you can only enforce against what is written, and I think it’s a valid argument that a requirement to simply “listen” may be unenforceable. As @sailman states, it’s “chickenshit,” but potentially valid. I deal all the time with government regulations that sometimes say to “notify” the responsible office, and other times say that you need a response in writing before proceeding. The difference between the two is nontrivial. “Notify” does not imply “get permission,” just as “listen” does not necessarily imply “respond to all hails.” Common sense may dictate the latter, but common sense is immaterial to most procedural matters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wemedge 12 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "Listen" doesn't require response and would be difficult to enforce. However if the hails over Ch. 16 are requesting response, a response would be indicated. No? Assuming we're listening.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Dark Knight 1,252 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I seem to recall reading that some of the boats that had Plb triggers also too substantial time to respond to the calls from the RO, 20 minutes plus. I think it would be reasonable for Celestial to question why those boats were not protested by the RO. the RO should have protested the other boats as a matter of principle but withdraw the protest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HILLY 66 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Is Matt Allens' protest even valid. "Ichi Ban arrived in Hobart with its red protest flag raised but skipper Matt Allen didn't initially indicate whether one would be lodged." From R.R.S. 61.1 (1) 61.1 Informing the Protestee (a) The protesting boat shall inform the other boat at the first reasonable opportunity. When her protest will concern an incident in the racing area, she shall hail ‘Protest’ and conspicuously display a red flag at the first reasonable opportunity for each. She shall display the flag until she is no longer racing. However, (1) if the other boat is beyond hailing distance, the protesting boat need not hail but she shall inform the other boat at the first reasonable opportunity; So once they are tied up next to Celestial and do not inform them of their decision to protest they have not complied with 61.1.

Yeah, sorry I changed my post to look for more definitive definition regards the two words, found this from the F.A.A. https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/plain_language/articles/mandatory What's the only word that means mandatory? Here's what law and policy say about "shall, will, may, and must." We call "must" and "must not" words of obligation. "Must" is the only word that imposes a legal obligation on your readers to tell them something is mandatory. Also, "must not" are the only words you can use to say something is prohibited. Who says so and why? Nearly every jurisdiction has held that the word "shall" is confusing because it can also mean "may, will or must." Legal reference books like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure no longer use the word "shall." Even the Supreme Court ruled that when the word "shall" appears in statutes, it means "may." Bryan Garner, the legal writing scholar and editor of Black's Law Dictionary wrote that "In most legal instruments, shall violates the presumption of consistency … which is why shall is among the most heavily litigated words in the English language." Those are some of the reasons why these documents compel us to use the word "must" when we mean "mandatory:" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluey2298 4 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Just heard that the meeting has announced that there won’t be a reopening of the hearing Result stands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HILLY 66 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 OF course, to re-open the meeting, a few people would have to fall on their swords. strictly my opinion. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure for AUS, but the ones I've been sailing with over the past two years or so are getting between $800.00 and $1,000 US per day. That's "PRO" bow, trimmers, drivers, nav and tactician. "PRO" switch flippers and button pushers are extra. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
(p)Irate 161 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 MA just spoke to Sailor Girl live after the hearing and advised that they are not reopening the hearing. IJ writing it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluey2298 4 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Apparently Sam had some more information that came to light after the original protests and wanted the jury to see that information. BUT the jury didn’t want to re-open it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheUltimateSockPuppet 366 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Very good point made by SH about scrutiny of one boat (Celestial) when there were many other instances. That to me is the crux of the problem here - the RRS are there to be applied fairly to all competitors and in so many cases we’ve seen them be applied selectively to gain a favourable outcome for the chosen few. Little wonder I resigned as an IJ. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TPG 229 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 "Can you say some nice things about Sam?" Yeah he's OK BUT THAT MATT GUY IS GREAT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lahana 33 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Predictable outcome, placed in the 'too hard' basket. Well done to Sam and crew however. MA should be the sportsman he claims to be and not accept first position either. He's the instigator and should forfeit the Tattersal cup as the incident had no real bearing on his performance. In his own words, he said that Cel raced brilliantly right off the bat and that IB made mistakes in the 1st 24h and were trying to get back in the game. Shows just what these guys are made of, piss and vinegar. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
