I haven't seen the boat. However, I understand that, for example, the mainsheet disappears down below to a reel which is beneath the cabin sole. So if the handheld controller fails, or the electricity fails, or there's a big short-circuit, you can't release the mainsheet. Ditto for jib sheets. Maybe you can leave the helm and crawl down below under the cockpit sole to release the mainsheet.
That's insane. If there aren't manual overrides for the electrics this is a huge safety issue and I for one would never sail a boat like that in the Bay. Maybe I'd tool up and down the Alameda Estuary in that, but out in the main Bay? NO way.
If for that that reason alone and no other, I'm not so sure the boat should be racing in the SSS, totally aside from the issues with US Sailing rules.
