De uitslag is nog steeds Voorlopig. (het is 2 oktober)
Voor zover ik weet is er tegen de winnaar van de ORC3 een protest ingediend op basis van twijfels over de Meetbrief. Runners ontbreken op de Brief maar staan wel op de finishfoto. Eigenaar heeft toegegeven dat er een gemodificeerde kiel onder de boot zit, op de meetbrief staat de gewone Deh36DB offsetfile.
Er is een procedure voor het behandelen van dergelijke protesten.
Staat in de ORC Race Management Guide 2024
orc.org/uploads/files/Rules-Re...n%20in%201969%20when
Daar staat artikel 4.6 in.
Als tijdens een race een onregelmatigheid in de Meetbrief blijkt:
b) During races as a result of measurement protest or post-race measurement check – A test
certificate should be generated with the new measurements taken by the Technical Committee. The
resulting APH on the test certificate shall then be compared with the APH on the original certificate
used to enter the regatta:
- If the difference is less than or equal to 0.1%, the original certificate will be maintained, the protest
will be dismissed, and the protestor will have to cover any cost involved. RRS 64.3(a) will apply
but no corrections are needed.
- If the difference is more than 0.1% but less than 0.25%, no penalty shall apply, but a new
certificate shall be issued by the Rating Authority based on the new measurement data and all
races of the series shall be rescored using the new certificate data. The protest will be considered
accepted and the protestee will have to cover any cost involved.
- If the difference is more than 0.25% but less than 0.40%, a boat shall receive a scoring penalty
that shall be 50% of the score for Did not Finish, rounded to the nearest whole number (0.5
rounded upward) in any race in which her rating was incorrect. New certificate shall be issued
based on the new measurement data and all races of the series shall be rescored using the new
certificate data. The Protest will be considered accepted and the protestee will have to cover any
cost involved.
- If the difference is 0.40% or more, a boat shall be disqualified (DSQ) in any race in which her
rating was incorrect. The Protest will be considered accepted and the protestee will have to cover
any cost involved and the yacht shall not race again until all non-compliance issues are corrected
to the limit defined above (less than 0.1%). Further actions may be taken by the Protest Committee
if it may be considered that non-compliance is result of misconduct following procedures defined
in the RRS 69.
We hebben het dus over dit punt b, en de 4 mogelijke gevolgen (van geen tot DSQ).
STAP 1: meten en testcertificaat. Dat zou de 24uurs nu zsm moeten doen, lijkt me.
