Description
During the 1st race on Tuesday 4/19/2016 I was sailing to complete the race when I saw my competitor Moorality turn towards the finish after rounding where mark #3 should have been. It was dark but I continued sailing to where I expected the mark to be.The wind had come up and we were making it upriver and looking for where mark#3 should have been. When we realized that there was no mark to round we dropped our chute and turned towards the finish. I had already seen Moorality finish and knew we were well within 10 minutes of finishing behind him. I sailed by the race committee and asked if the race had been abandoned. I was informed that it had been. So I left the race course.
It was not until I spoke with sailors the next day in my fleet as well another Martin sailor who described to me how the mark boat drove to him and told him that they were now mark#3. The mark boat left station and did not allow us to properly finish our course which we would have done well within 10 minutes after Moorality finished.
I had my vhf with me and I did not hear any communication that the mark boat was now #3 or that our race had been abandoned. I am requesting redress to have my score reflect my 2nd place finish. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. |

Description of Incident
Description
Nelly rounded ahead of all boats in our start (Moore 24 and Martin 24s). Skookum was last. we rounded and bore off on starboard. heading toward Mt. Hood, up current. Skookum approached the mark on a wild not close hauled port tack as if they overstood. We hailed . to avoid contact w/ the midsection of the port side of skookum i had to alter course , turn to starboard and take her stern. the tactical course would have been to head deep downwind. i had to reach up instead. this cost me ground on the competition. no question i hailed and no question i flew a red flag. |
