Oh come on. Just one thread without spin. One. Just one. Please! I do not see any basis that IM has to disqualify a boat that does not meet an MEP rule of rudders have SA of 0.32 ms or similar Please just a simple yes or no. * Post IJ ruling do you believe IM can DSQ a boat or even have the...

What authority does IM have, how does he operationalize the MEP? The IJ ruled the measurement committee should be directed to ignore 189. Why do you believe IM has any authority to tell teams how to design and build their boats w regards to rudder SA?

Guess I am seeing/asking same thing. Really not trolling but this seems so blatent that it begs the claims of ethical lapses and/or that IM/OR/AR are trying to cheat. Not saying that is so but the presser just seems to beg for that claim to be made. I just don't get it. The IJ ruling and even...

Absent the politics, can anyone explain the ACEA presser yesterday? The IJ ruled that IM can't use the MEP or other games to change the class rules without consent of all per the protocol. That puts NZ and LR in driver seat w re ruddergate and the weight limit. IJ also rules that IM/GGYC/OR...
