Worlds Day 3 - Early
Morning Report,
Jury Decision Posted
Tuesday, 10th December 2002
Dear all:
This morning, like most other mornings, I woke up around 5:00 or 5:30AM as the "anti Doctor", the night-and-early-morning offshore breeze, was roaring through the trees and buildings... Having had two races yesterday, I went back to sleep for awhile.
It is 11:00AM as I write this.. only one race today with a warning signal at 13:00, so the frantic rigging and launching has not started yet. The jury did not come to a decision last night on the requests for redress from the gate start incident in race 3, but they are deliberating now. LATE UPDATE, the jury decision is up, and the race stands, without anyone getting redress. The decision carefully explains why, but it is nearly a full page of writing, so I will not try to reproduce it here. The essence is that the jury had not way of giving redress that was fair to everyone. If you are interested, check the ISAF rules for what a jury or protest committee is required to consider when considering requests for redress.
Progressive Results After
Race 3
In addition to the photos on
www.Aussiesinaction.com, we are hoping to have some photos taken at the jibe mark in race 1 posted somewhere on the web, soon. I am sending
photos taken ashore to the US Web Site webmaster, and he is posting them when he can.
The forecast is for no Fremantle Doctor today. Some speculation is for a day of shifty puffy easterlies like yesterday but with stronger winds.
