I would like to add, sometimes it is NOT the race committee,
but the owners of the committee boat or chase/mark boats.

I have forgotten the number of times at a long distance regatta
where the RC boat owner said it was to uncomfortable for them to
sit out on the water for four hours.

Or the committee boat did not feel like coming back the next
day, and sit in a washing machine.

Or it was to rough for the committee boat to exit the cut.

Or not enough chase boats.

Or etc.
