Anyone who has ever sailed in Charleston knows how strong the current can be! Well, on Sunday the current was ripping against the sailors at the start. This resulted in gaining very little forward motion after the gun, making it extremely difficult to clear the committee boat on port tack. After getting sucked back across the starting line after having started and cleared it, some sailors then chose to sail astern the Committee Boat. The thought process here was that after the start, the boat is no longer a mark of the coarse. Further research by the individuals, who chose to sail this coarse, revealed that they had actually violated rule 28.1. Upon realizing they had broken a rule after the regatta, they chose to retire after finishing (RAF).
