After five days of predominantly light winds, the race committee for this biennial contest opted to invoke a predetermined time limit because none of the sailboats had made sufficient progress toward the finish. The respective distances sailed by each of the entrants were recorded at that time and used by the committee as a factor in a formula set up to equitably compare performance from boat to boat. It was that formula that Dr.Warters protested, and the jury subsequently found in his favor. During the initial attempt to re-score the race as instructed by the jury, a start time was erroneously entered into the scoring system, thus the press release dated June 7 reflected incorrect information about the overall winner of the race. Following the correction of the erroneous start time the yachts were once again re-scored according to the method stipulated by the jury, and those calculations put receive first-to-finish honors. regatta report courtesy of s.c.maratime foundation
