I'm not against redress - I think it is important for competitors to be able to make a case that their finish position was made worse through no fault of their own. I have a problem with the other interested parties (sometimes the whole fleet) not being included in the discussion. Open hearings - I think it would tend to help people decide if they will file the redress if they know that they have to stand in front of the whole fleet to make the case. Some chicken$hit stuff would likely not be filed - saves time and aggravation.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
