Race Committee
Can we please move the Course "Bravo" out of the constricted area close to land, and with a very large hill causing major wind shifts and unstable wind conditions? This is a World Championship and should be sailed in open water, not jammed into an area where major land features are having a huge impact on the sailing conditions. Both the "Alpha" and "Charlie" courses are in open water with no land masses impacting the breeze. I also would like to know why the decision was made to move our fleets from "Alpha" to "Bravo" this was not discussed with the competitors before the decision was made. No reason for this change was posted to my knowledge. Mike Schmidt, USA 121384.
The course areas were assigned by the local marine authority. We were very fortunate that the marine authority allocated a last minute third racing area. The original application was for only two racing areas.

The swap between the Alpha and Bravo was to bring the Legends closer to the sailing site. Peter van Muyden
