  • Thanks for bringing up the subject and the interesting discussion to follow. This topic has been a concern for long, but few have been addressing it. Every one of us have to make the decision, when we are sail racing officials or some sailors' coach/friend. That is only posssible on local level racing, where we are known to all.

    Wanting to do good for the sport, we instinctively want to help sailors. But as race officials we have to be fair to all competitors. There is a conflict, and especially on an international level.

    When all competitors are able to access the same tools, without an unreasonable cost, an AI assisted help would be more fair to every sailor who can read. And it would certainly help non native English speaking sailors do better with protests and hearings. 

    All help is also needed for writing NoR and SIs for international events.  They can always be simplyfied and standardised for the benefit of the sport.

    Ps. My first ever comment in RRoS, and neither spell checked in American nor AI generated.

  • As a retired IJ and IU my take is that Blue, being a fast reaching multi-hull, is on the cusp of breaking rule 17 at position 6.

  • I think that wording is quite workable, if that's what you want to do.

  • Rule 89.2 provides the option to change the NoR provided adequate notice is given.

    As brought out by John d Farris, any change needs to be communicated to all stakeholders.
