We get it—life happens! Illness, schedule shifts, family stuff... it’s all part of the game. That said, to keep racing fair and square, it’s essential that any last-minute crew changes are provided to the event organizers. Skippers, this one’s on you—please make sure to keep the OA in the loop. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
