Isn't it contingent upon the race committee to cancel a race when such

Not at all.

Well, then why do you speak up in favor of the Race
Committee acting like a nanny?


Nanny? They are also charged with cancelling the race if there is not
enough
wind. Any problem with that? Whether to participate in a race is up to the
individual captains UP TO A POINT. The committee has a responsibility to
cancel
the event if the conditions are clearly too dangerous, and it is not being
a
nanny, you ninny.
