My thoughts. The penalty of breaking any racing rule is too great for anyone to call on themselves or anyone else. That being disqualification. We all want anyone that got to Hanalei Bay to be certified as completeing the race. The only way that we can enforce any of the rules is to have time penalities which have been developed and published before the race which are automatically charged and are not at the discression of anyone including the race committee. This has been used in the "Around the World Racing" such as the Volvo and Clipper races. Maybe there will be some time at the next meeting at Encinal YC.

My feeling is that it would not be appropriate to discuss this at the weather seminar on 7/7, so I would like to open this up again here and then come to an agreement at the skippers meeting on 7/11.
