There was a long wave priority discussion between Graham Ezzy and Ferdinando Loffreda. In the end it was Graham Ezzy, who apologized:
"From my angle of sight and going by PWA wave priority rules, I thought I had priority for the last wave of our heat. After reviewing the IWT rules and the video, this turned out not to be the case. I am very sorry to have interfered with Ferdinando’s wave. By the rules, my highest scoring wave was removed from the overall scores, and I know that this doesn’t do much to answer Ferdinando’s feelings and passion. Ferdinando, you are a great sailor, and I’m sorry this happened.“continentsevenAnyone have a copy of IWT rules (I could find the PWA rules but struggled to find the IWT rules posted anywhere)? I listened to the head judge's explanation and I'm still not sure how a guy who rolls off the inside wave has priority over sailor under power on next wave.
