No.
What if the boat breaking a rule of Part 2 BROKE the corrected sunglasses for a partially visually impaired helmsman? Is that not physical damage which could make a boat's score significantly worse in a race or series has, through no fault of her own?
ReplyDeleteI think a International Jury might have a discussion seriously considering that this answer is not the one they want.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the boat breaking a rule of Part 2 injured the helmsman's eye so that he could not see to steer properly? Is that not injury which could make a boat's score significantly worse in a race or series has, through no fault of her own? If so, then what is the difference between injuring a helmsman's eye and causing the loss of prescription sunglasses for a visually impaired sailor?
