ERICSSON PRESENTA UNA RICHIESTA DI RIPARAZIONE

At the start of the in-port race in Melbourne, on Saturday 4 February, Ericsson was recalled by the Race Committee for a premature start and had to sail back to the starting line in order to re-cross it. The Ericsson Racing Team has strong reasons to believe that there was confusion on the Race Committee boat, which resulted in Ericsson being erroneously recalled. The return to the start clearly affected Ericsson’s finishing position in this race; hence the team’s decision to submit a claim for redress to the International Jury. As independent rules consultant for the Ericsson Racing Team, John Doerr, explains: “Unlike in many other sports, sailing has a process in place for claiming redress in case the race was not properly conducted. The ISAF’s Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) provide the means to rectify any such errors.”
