Race result now under protest, under rule 41 which refers to the use of outside assistance.

It would be sad to see this result reversed ( I wonder who put in the protest , I mean who REALLY put in the protest)

They need to take a leaf out of the AFL rule book... 50m penalty and get over it.

IMO this is cheating i.e. obtaining tactical information about another competitor from an outside source.

The rules are the rules and should be upheld. Protest upheld.

What if there is a Sat TV onboard, and they can visually see what colour the sail was?
