Help please.
We had a dead-heat yesterday which I captured on video and replayed to
try to pick a winner. There was a dead heat. That is, if you judge it
by the bow on the line.
One of the boats had a spin****r up and the spin****r went over the
line first, leaving respective bows dead in line.
We checked out the rules to get a definition of what constitutes a
finish. Bow on the line? Mast? Stern? Spin****r? Bowsprit? I cannot
find the relevant rule in the rule book.
I do have a Handy Guide to the Rules produced by the RYA, which says
that its any part of the boat, its crew or its equipment, in their
normal position.
Can I sup****t that in the actual rules with the definitive wording?
Nope.
Anyone help me out?
