Not all the boats have cameras. How do they get allocated? How heavy are they - they are certainly noticeable? Is this a possible redress?
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Quote from his report ...

"In the first race the mainsheet bridle snapped after they realised it had been slowly chafing on the camera mount that sits on the rudder gantry of their boat."
