In the third race of an event for each of 15 offshore classes, all classes sailed
the same course on which a reaching mark was found to have moved almost
a mile (1.6 kilometres) out of position. Various boats in several classes
sought redress because of it. The mark moved out of position over an hour
before any of the boats in the last two classes reached it. None of the boats
in those two classes requested redress. The protest committee, however,
abandoned the races for all classes. The boats in the last two classes then
asked for redress, claiming that the abandonment of their races was
improper. Redress was denied. They appealed.
