F18 Worlds 2010: Possible redress for Hugh Styles
Hugh Styles and Ferdinand Van West were 3rd last year and I pointed them as possible contenders for 2010. With an excellent start at Erquy, Yesterday they had two strange DNF, Simon Northtrop tell us the story below.
From Simon Northtrop: “Just heard that Hugh is getting redress for race 8 and 9 (Average Points from all races) as he had a collision with a press boat just after the start of race 7 and was slowly sinking, he managed to finish race 7 with one hull full of water – noticed whilst watching the tracker that he has had a good race 10 so will be pushing hard for the title still !!!!”
Current scores for Styles-Van West after 9 Races:
| 30 | GBR 7 | STYLES Hugh VAN WEST F | 195 | 206 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 8 | -11 | 12 | DNF | DNF |
Possible Score after redress:
| 3? | GBR 7 | STYLES Hugh VAN WEST F | 44 | 56,6 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 8 | -11 | 12 | 6,29* | 6,29* |
And today it seems they had a good 10th regatta with a possible 2 as per TracTrac behind WilsonLynch

Redress is likely to apply only to the scores in the gold fleet.
Yes, he is in the Gold fleet
can someone please explain to me what exactly is a redress
Redress is applied when a sailor feels his result, commonly a bad one, has been influenced by a another sailor or third party, in this case a press rib.
Styles asked for redress as he couldn´t finish the races due to external causes in this case, the jury agreed and he was awarded with his average scores.
oh, ok then, thanks for the information
