Volvo Ocean Race 2001/2002 www.VolvoOceanRace.org zurück zur Übersicht Sydney, Australia, December 9th, 2001 Request for Redress Dismissed The International Jury will not hear Amer Sports One’s request for redress, after determining the request was submitted outside the time limit. Amer Sports One had requested redress after learning that the Race Committee would not be protesting djuice dragons and Amer Sports Too for allegedly infringing a Traffic Separation Scheme after the restart in Cape 1 Town. At a hearing on Sunday morning to determine the validity of the request, the International Jury found that all the competitors were made aware of the Race Committee’s decision not to protest by 14:00 on Friday afternoon. Amer Sports One did not file its request until 14:25 on Saturday 1 afternoon, missing the 24-hour time limit. “The International Jury is required to assess whether there are good reasons to extend the time limit,” Bryan Willis, Chairman of the Jury said. “But when no good reason is presented, we are obliged to dismiss the 1 request.” For the Volvo Ocean Race, Standard Sailing Instruction 10 modifies the Racing Rules of Sailing, extending what is usually a two-hour time limit, to 24-hours.
