LawConnect sailing master Tony Mutter has said the boat is currently flying a protest flag,but the team are yet to discuss whether they will go through with it.
“We did notify the race committee that we were flying a protest flag...for an incident during the race that we thought affected our performance,” Mutter said.
“We slowed down for half an hour… on standby for a boat we thought was in distress.”
Mutter confirmed the boat in question was Andoo Comanche,but stressed they didn’t think it was intentional.
“There was no intent on their part to create that problem...we’re not suggesting that at all,” he said.
