After three races, Jonathan Martinetti from Equator sits atop the leaderboard with six points after finishing a very consistent 2-1-3 considering the challenges of staring in a fleet of 100 boats. Right behind Jonathan is Peruvian Jean Paul De Trazegnies who suffered a breakdown in Race 1 and was granted redress averaging his 5-2 in Races 2 and 3. In third is Martinetti’s countryman Matias Dyck who, after finishing 1-3-8, is carrying 12 points into Day 2. Peter Stanton from the USVI stands in fourth at 22 points with Americans Conner Blouin and Jeff Olson in fifth and sixth with 23 and 24 points, respectively. Blouin got the bullet in race 3.
And in the lead after seven strong races. But Jean-Paul de Trazegnies is within striking distance (10 points). There are no more throw-outs, unless they sail 12 races. With such a large fleet Jonathan cannot afford to match race Jean-Paul because if they both end up somewhere in the middle, the third-place person will win the regatta. BTW, Jean-Paul is a former World Champion as well.Jonathan Martinetti is sailing a pretty dominating regatta so far - lowest score a 3rd after 6 races.
transponders? i dont know how they could score multiple boats crossing at the same time without. but i honestly have no clue how its done.Not only are there a record number of equipment breakdowns for such an important event, but 15 disqualifications in race 4 must be a record as well. Race 5 was relatively 'smooth sailing' (from the Race Committee (RC) viewpoint), but race 6 saw another 15 disqualifications.
I don't know how the RC did this, but it is very hard to document so many 'early overs' in a sea of 100 boats (with identical sails). Perhaps they had multiple 'spotters'?
I am not there and don't know either how they do it.transponders? i dont know how they could score multiple boats crossing at the same time without. but i honestly have no clue how its done.

(not sure why it is all broken down into age groups already...)
Absolutely!Looks like Jonathan Martinetti is the 50th world champion. He coasted in the 11th and final race and used it as his throw out. Never finished lower than 3rd place in the previous 10 races. That's pretty dominating sailing.
Thanks for all of your hard work and frequent updates![Maybe this is old news, but i am running sunfishworlds.org]
This includes five protests due to 'equipment failure'. By now a total of 38 protests have been filed. That jury deserves a beer (or two).The results are still preliminary, at the moment 7 open protests, bit Jonathan Martinetti IS the new world champion. Emily just did an interview with him. I'll download it from FB and upload to YT (like i did with many of the Lee M videos).
What are some of the reasons that someone might be disqualified?Another record set today:
One sailor, who will remain anonymous, got four (yes, 4) DSQ's today...
Very cool. What body of water is that?While waiting for those protest (and totally off -topic): Check out this cool video. Me ripping along at 17 knots in my RS Aero (move to 4:00 and see the gust make the boat accellerate from 10 to 17 knots in the blink of an eye).
Violating any of the rules in here can get you a DSQ RRS2005 (sailing.org) Rules 10, 11 and 18 are among the most infringed, I'd say. In the case of the guy with the 4 in one day, all four were for being over the starting line before the start. Three were under the black flag, and one under the U flag. If you search Black Flag or U Flag in the rules I linked to, you can read what he violated.What are some of the reasons that someone might be disqualified?
Writers here are calling UFD penalties and BFD penalties disqualifications. They are penalties the same as OCS, but with more qualifications. Google World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing to understand the difference.What are some of the reasons that someone might be disqualified?
