  • I am shocked at the number of "Windward Apologists" there are in this thread!

    I have been slapped down here for challenging much sketchier scenarios than this.

    W knowingly took a risk and it did not pay off.  This is an open and shut case.  Rule 11; W is DSQ.

    Maaaaybe if L altered course, but the OP facts found were that she did not.

  • Antonio re: "any other proof"

    My question is "Proof for what?"   That single person is the RC.  RRS 29.1 says ".. the RC shall ...".  

    It's not an issue of proof.  It's an issue of obligation.  

    There is nothing in the rules that require anything more than RRS 29.1, A5 and A10 for OCS.  All other things an RC might record for their own records is up to them. 

    Other than that, I'm not sure what you are asking.

  • Jim Champ Reply to: 22039 - John Quirk: furthermore, in CASE 50, in the first sentence, it actually uses the term "genuine and reasonable apprehension" (this of course a standard used by courts with applications for an arrest in connection with non-bailable offences), and in the second sentence 'reasonable doubt' (again, a well-tested legal / court term). Quite some complexity for a competitor and PC to become acquainted with :).

  • Ang I as well .. was just trying to clearly describe where/how the ambiguity resides that you pointed out. 

    And I appreciate it.

    (Why do I suddenly feel like I'm Charlie Brown and you're Lucy holding the ball! <g>). 

    I never called you a blockhead.
