• Appendix T - Arbitration
  John P ... it actually would not even take a full, new, word-efficient sentence.  Maybe a small edit like below would make the USS-JC's view clear....
  
  Top of page 75 ...
  
  

  If the arbitrator believes that one or more boats broke a rule [and they are not exonerated], he or she should say which boats may have broken those rules (again, without stating why) [without identifying the rules by name/number or the arbitrator's reasoning,] and then list the options available to each party, including:
  • Taking a Post-Race Penalty,
  • Retiring, or
  • Not taking a Penalty

  I think the CA should be more proactive than that.
  
  CA should check each entry for CA Membership, give entrants a chance to pay up, and reject any entries that don't comply.

  Thank you for the applicable section from the Etchells class rules. It was only an example to illustrate the kind of body position. The actual class I race is not the Etchells.

  Rule 10 (port vs starboard) may seem like the result of a 'flip of the coin' but in reality it comes from the COLREGs on which the RRS are based.
  
  Maybe someone flipped a coin a long-long-long time ago, but the RRS simply allow us to race much more closely than the COLREGs would otherwise allow.
  
  That said, Rule 11 (windward boat keep clear) is similarly arbitrary but also based on the COLREGs.
