En la intervención #10 pone:
- Fact 1 : The Measurers found intentionally placed ballast fixed into the kingposts of 3 boats prepared by one team.
- Fact 2 : The ballast was semi-permanently poured into the kingpost as a resin slurry with a heavy material, increasing the weight of the kingpost.
- Fact 3 : The class rule of the one-design boat specifies the weight of the kingpost, the modifications exceeded that specification.
- Fact 4 : The class rule further specifies that corrector weight is to be added in a specific position, which is not the kingpost.
- Fact 5 : The RD and the Measurers raised the issue with the team concerned, when they discovered it.
- Fact 6 : The team asked that the issue be kept out of the public domain until they had conducted their own internal investigation.
- Fact 7 : The team issued a public statement that they had discovered / been alerted to the knowledge of the contravention, and withdrew their results from the AC45 events involved.
Como todos los barcos deben tener el mismo peso hay
determinadas zonas dónde se ha de añadir peso para que se igualen.
En vez de seguir este criterio han agregado plomo en una zona
más central. El peso final es como los demás pero los momentos de inercia
no!!
Menuda forma de cagarla!!
