Facts Found| | SIN 2 rounded the leeward mark then rounded slalom mark 3 instead of slalom mark 1, SIN 2 then rounded Slalom marks 2,3 and finished.
Slalom mark 1 was a pencil mark tht was not standing in its proper upright position and the Race Committee stationed a race committee boat near slalom mark 1 in order to draw attention to it. When SIN 2 rounded the leeward mark the Race Committee boat was not in position relative to slalom mark 1. |
