Australian Sailing

[(p)Irate]

Out of interest if a Pro sailor had flown into the country and then jumped on a clients boat without completing the mandatory isolation period, and the owner and crew knew- what would be a suitable penalty.

Purely hypothetical of course.

What sort of person, owner or crew would do something like that?

Yes - that is a very thought-provoking question...

Rules are just for the little people, after all.

But having said this, one of the things I love about sailing is that you take responsibility for yourself, your boat and your crew.  The increasing level of mandates from authorities takes away some of the sense of achievement you get in planning and executing your voyages safely (in my view).

100% correct. If you are racing it is called Racing Rules of Sailing, Rule 3. Some of these organisations seem to forget they are there for the sailor, sailors aren't there for them.

Purely Hypothetical of course. As if the genteel sport of sailing would have such entitled, selfish, win at all costs, type of people participating...

Would this be a little humdrum hypothetical? or a big hypothetical that Mr g robertson would salivate over?

Or from another angle...... Would such hypothetical have had big ramifications in the placings, or just meh.

A Kiwi friend posted a funny on Facebook "Australian Government showed they understood tennis very well with their excellent 'return of a serb'.

At least he wasn't a cockhead tennis player

Same sense of entitlement one would think or at least disregard for others.

 

[Boink]

Hypothetically, was this the #1 time it happened?

 

[Livia]

Then there is the big boat crew that all signed the declarations as clear on arrival, but a few days back later back in Sydney  over half were positive.

All caught it at the Customs House apparently.

Pretty unlucky.

My source told me that the whole crew were positive and "they all caught it in Tasmania."

You don’t mean like Steve ‘Mothy’ Jarvin, do you? The guy who was skiing at his place in America on the 20th of December, did the Hobart race on URM on Boxing Day, retired and was back skiing in the US by New Year’s Eve?

No - I don’t mean anyone. Simply hypothetical.

That or similar was posted on the Novax thread

I’m guessing someone on the boat that crossed the line in 2nd place on IRC

So the rules back then were

International travel

• International travellers who are fully vaccinated must self-isolate at their home or accommodation for 72 hours after arriving in NSW and until they receive a negative test result.
  
• International travellers who are not fully vaccinated will need to hotel quarantine on arrival for 14 days.
  

So if you left America on the 21st Dec you would arrive the 23rd Dec, 72 hours self isolation is 26th Dec and I got a test on the 23rd and got it back on the 27th
