Of course I would. There's nothing like getting a fellow sailor disqualified
on a technicality. Besides, then I could claim I didn't come in dead last
yet again. :-)

I participated in our annual Race for the Dawg from Pt.
Campbell at the East
end of Racoon Straight to the Marin Yacht Club (first
place is one hotdog to
the skipper) fundraising event. We came in 3rd. Which
isn't so bad
considering we got to the start 15 minutes late.

However, boat #2, when finally docked, was approached by
the local police
boat and cited for not having the proper registration
(wrong year and not
registered properly, apparently). We pulled up just as the
officer was
finishing the citation and explaining it to them. So, my
question is can I
improve my standing in the race? I think they should
withdrawn, given that
they weren't legal.

We ended up joking around with the cop, saying he should
check out the
winning boat also. I offered him a bribe of one dog to
split with his crew,
but he declined. Then, he said, maybe he should check all
the boats. We left
quietly. :-)

What do you think? Should #2 withdraw?



No! Absolutely knot! Would you really want to place better
*that* way?
