You Shall Retire

The Racing Rules prescribe certain things. It's wise to know them, at least the basics. This area discusses the finer points of the racing rules for sailing fast.

However this works out will be good because of the learning here going through process.

I am in favor of a boat retiring that has harmed or put another boat at a disadvantage because of a foul. And I like the suggestion to remain retired till the one offended can return to racing. While I like to think we all want to do the right thing and support our friends through the Rules, I don't believe it for a moment. Joe's conduct at the NCR by retiring from the event because of a mistake causing another to be unable to continue in the event was an act of courage and unheard of good sportsmanship. Since that example I have seen questionable tactics.
