Melges 24 Charleston

Mr. Clean from Sailing Anarchy caught the action at the windward mark of Race 8 in Key West on video. (click to see the video on YouTube, the key moment starts at 1:55 seconds into the video).  It appears that Guy Mossman (sailing number 245) on starboard tack gets fouled by sail number 575 when 575 tacks too close.  Guy has to round up.  He then gets ping ponged around and with the lost momentum it takes almost 4 minutes for him to recover from the foul.  Ouch!

The official blog Melges 24 blog says, USA-575 is “Zetiana,” owned by Alexis Michas from Connecticut.  Zetiana finished the race 21st place versus the 29th Riot Act scored.   If there was a foul, should Zetiana go to the Race Committee and resign from the race?  Add a comment and let us know what you think.
