<div dir="ltr">Fleet:<div><br></div><div>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). </div>
<div><br></div><div>That said, the scorers / co-chairs have been hearing
grumbling / pleading when entering scores about how some boats
aren't spinning when fouling. </div><div><br></div><div>Instead of
pleading your case while we're entering scores, <b>please consider using
the 3 min justice system, and reporting the results to the scorers /
co-chairs</b>. This is a good explanation of 3 min justice: <a href="http://www.sailingeducation.com/3minute.htm" target="_blank">http://www.sailingeducation.com/3minute.htm.</a>
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. <br>
</div><div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div></div><div>Yours in the Corinthian spirit,</div>
