Agreed. My experience of closed finish lines on the course is that they lead to unnecessary DSQs and bad feeling. I think you need a very good reason to introduce one.Jim Champ Today 04:31

RRS 63.5(a) requires protest committees to find facts 'based on the balance of probabilities (unless an applicable rule requires otherwise)'.
Finding fault of a boat’s own is a conclusion rather than a fact, so it's a matter fo logical reasoning and judgemt by the protest committee, but, as fa as it's relevant, I can't see any reason to depart from balance of probabilities.
Maybe it would help the discussion along if you pitched up a concrete example where you would be uncomfortable with BoP.John Allan Thu 23:02 -
