Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but
it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not
have a mail system running right now.

Fellow sailors, Susan was acting as the voice of the Anam Cara crew when she
called for the enforcement, or clarification of, the 10 minute rule.  We
were all under the impression that engines must be off 10 minutes prior to
the race start.  This subject was broached last year when the Alexis was
admonished for running her engine in this time frame, John, you were out of
town for that race (I think it was the third spring race).  I have been
unable to locate the e-mail that was distributed in that regard, or even
remember who posted it, but that is the rule the Anam Cara has followed for
all subsequent races, in one race even missing a start for it.  The key to
sportsmanship is to know the rules, and I as the skipper of the Anam Cara,
have demonstrated an ignorance of the rules, and for that I apologize.  The
engine can indeed be used up until the preparatory horn, which is 5 minutes
before the race.  I seem to have had the prep and warning horns confused as 
well.  My ignorance of the rules can be contributed to a lack of experience,
as this is only my second season racing.  Please try to bear with me as I
learn.  I agree with George Christian in that racing should be fun, and I
apologize to anyone who feels that I have betrayed that aspect of the sport.


Kindest Regards 
Mike Maculley 
S/V Anam Cara

Susan,

In the manner of youth seeking justice, you seemed to have betrayed an
ignorance of the racing rules, impugned the integrity of your "fellow
sailors", and pissed of George Christian, at least.  Anyway, section 4
(of
the rules of racing) covers things pretty well so I have never seen the
need
for any other kind of "club rule".  So I don't know where that comes
from.

Anyway, you might consider sending out an apology.  I think a mercy plea
based on youth and good intentions would work.

See ya.

John
