Just found out that we lost a protest.
The race was May 25, 2013.
I found out today the nature of the protest, as we were never told that a racer, who had retired from the race protested the committee boat decision to offer us redress in +30 knot winds as the last boat left racing.
The redress was asked, for two weeks after the race, had retired.
So from what I see it I need to find out what rules the club is following and what they are ignoring from the IRR
- time limit
- paperwork
- informing the protestee as soon as possible after the race (we found out two weeks after the race)
- informing us of the protest committee members
- asking for redress to affect our racers boats score
- protesting the committee boat actions
- hiding the protest committee from us (the RD would not tell us who was on the committee so we had to ask around the club for a week to find out who to send our protest response to.
It is even dummer as the club is currently putting together a Code of Conduct that binds the club to follow the IRR.
Frustrating, perhaps we need to slow our boat down and let them win a few races.
Would love your comments.
