Fleet:
I think we can all agree that it's best to resolve any differences on the
water by spinning circles when you foul (reminder: 2 circles for fouls at a
mark or start/finish, 1 circle elsewhere).
That said, the scorers / co-chairs have been hearing grumbling / pleading
when entering scores about how some boats aren't spinning when fouling.
Instead of pleading your case while we're entering scores, *please consider
using the 3 min justice system, and reporting the results to the scorers /
co-chairs*. This is a good explanation of 3 min justice:

To avoid burdening the fleet with too much procedure and formality, this is
the ONLY mechanism for resolving penalties off the water (other than
voluntarily withdrawing from a race). We will amend the SIs to reflect
this long-standing fleet practice.
Relatedly, if you help out with a rescue or drive a rescue boat (see the
SIs), please let the scorers know which races you assisted in.
Yours in the Corinthian spirit,
Claire
Thurs Night Co-Chair
and
Steve
Tues Night Co-Chair
