Xl Feva 1884 race results query - by: Neil
Hi Micheal,
Thanks for talking to Amelie about her results today. She's a little upset to have been given DNF as it was agreed for her to come in by the race office. Essentially, she had a very good first lap and she was on the same leg as most of the others, and actually at times, not to far at all from others, as due to the shifty wind we could use our spinnaker on several legs. She would have been up the top of the results I'm sure. After going through the start line again for lap 2, we again were not far off the pack until just past BA. Going towards SP the wind dropped and the safety crew came up to us and suggested they radio in to use an average of 1 lap as the tide was pushing us back quickly. We agreed, it was radioed through and agreed with the race office, so we headed in. It was not a DNF situation as it was agreed for us to finish. I am positive she would have been near the top of the fleet as Amelie sailed a brilliant first lap. Please can you check the times and camera to get the correct result for Amelie.
Many thanks.
Freya
