Given how noodly the rigs are, I'm surprised more haven't been broken. Some of the other rigs got stiffeners to avoid this eventuality, but yea, this could certainly do it.

So what you're saying is that after racing for 10 days and prepping for countless hours that spending another 45 minutes in a hearing was a bridge too far? I would have to call bullshit on this concept. Even if there was a finding that "something wasn't quite right" in all likeliehood the...

great summation. You could be a lawyer with skills like that...

the biggest difference that would actually matter is the extra 500 pounds of crew weight that that rufless declared. (it's about 300 pounds per person) While I do not believe this to be a violation of the rule, as it's a maximum, it has a huge impact on your SA/D and your wetted surface...and in...

you do understand that hamachi is rated 2.5% FASTER than ruffles, faster than any other 125, not SLOWER.. Your logic is broken here.

I suspect they would have passed the same inspection, as it's not really that complicated.

When they finished, they were told there was a protest and asked at the dock by RC to identify the sails they had on board and sign the affidavit to that effect. Fast forward a few hours and they withdrew. I'm not sure what that means but they clearly believed there was a significant issue...

all of the changes to Hamachi were between 2013-2015 under the previous owner. There have been no real changes to the config since then and it's been weighed and measured couple of times since. It went on a diet in 2013 and a lot of the boats have followed with the same changes. It still has...

Since nobody other than the owner and RC actually knew what sails were declared for the cert. It's not like you can have multiple certs and then just pull the one you want out at the last minute. You would have had to decide a week before the start. The 125 ratings are not that weight sensitive...

is he really that anonymous though..I'm sure we could find out where he lives... but the 125 ratings are a pretty big delta. I looked around and couldn't find any ever below a 1.2 but I guess if they only carry a J3, have the original "short" pole and come in at 10,000 pounds it would make...
