I finally did it – downhill both ways ☺
We had strong SW winds on Friday and I was going NW and we had strong NW winds
on Sunday and I was going SW. Usually I get the reverse. I also had the unique
issue of overtaking a car carrier. He was doing 13 knots coming up the channel,
slowed down to
I hope some of the racers among the list might want to chime in on the
following.
Before the start this weekend, 2 boats 'barged' down the line, one immediately

incident, hailed that I(WP) protested him (NC) and flew
I have a 74’ 33 with tiller steering but it is not an MK1. It is a ¾ tonner. I
don’t know how different the rudder stem and cockpit layout is but I can send
you some pics if you are interested…

Hi Charlie,
I don't know all the details, but assuming you had rights to head up the other
boat (the middle one) and you actually attempted to, then what happens between
the middle boat and other boats above her is irrelevant. Your protest is valid.
As far as I know, the middle boat cannot

Well done! Following seas are tough especially in the chessie chop.
Raced on s 40.7 shoal draft in West river. Boat rounds up like crazy in a
gust. More tender than my 35/3. Guessing the rudder is shorter to match
the keel.

My understanding -
You are not out of luck. NCs protest was as you say likely thrown out as he
did not protest properly in a timely manner (61.1 a). This just prevents NC for
being exonerated by the actions/ inactions of Q. NC is still on the hook for
fouling you - and unless he did his
We had a nothing short of spectacular day on Saturday with winds in the
18-25 range and 75 degrees sunny / dry weather. The wind was coming from
the NW at an angle good to go the length of the lake on a beat in 2 tacks
and cruise back home 7-8 knots all the way down.
We went to a really good
Charlie:
If NC (the middle boat) cannot head up when you try to take her up, she will be
exonerated at your protest hearing if she protested the windward boat at the
first reasonable opportunity and she raised her protest flag at the first
reasonable opportunity . Otherwise, her protest will
That is pretty much my understanding regarding the boat to starboard/windward
of me (NC). Unfortuntely, the 'real' culprit in this scenario
escapes (Q) without any penalty since the boat able to protest him (NC) screwed
up their protest. So NC gets disqualified (because of a

Hmm. Sounds like a Mexican divorce.

Hi Burt,
I have seen the 3/4 tonner. The Mk1 rudder post comes out of the cockpit sole,
so it is about a foot lower than the 3/4 tonner. Also, the top of the post is
square.
Thanks just the same.
Tom.

I believe you could have protested both boats. Rule 60.1 allows a right to
protest if your boat is involved in or saw the incident. Assuming that you
hailed but didn't go up to avoid a collision, and middle boat did likewise, I
think a committee would find against third boat and exonerate the

I rebuilt the steering on my 1991 37+ this summer. The whole plate was so
badly rusted that the idler pulleys moved enough to allow the steering cable to
drop off the radial wheel. Edson had a replacement which comes with idler
pulleys but unfortunately is made of mild steel. My
