The finish of the Farr 40 race for you again.

From the Official Race Blog:
WOWWWW! What a mess at the Farr 40 finish. Den 7 was first cleanly and then all hell broke loose. Lots of protests right at the finish line.
Flash Gordon's spinnaker sheet got wrapped around the pole holding the R flag on the port bow of the Signal Boat. It snapped the pole off the ties on the bow pulpit. Then Flash spun out of control right on the finish line and fouled a few boats. A big pile up right on the line.

The outside boat, #2 Goombay Smash was DSQed just a few minutes ago. A second protest between the two inside boats was heard, but the published decision is simply a reference to the first decision, that it was Goombay's fault.

Awesome indeed!
Anything on the protests from this finish?
The crucial point will be: were they outside or inside the zone (3 hull lengths!) when the most windward boat gybed to port and started luffing?

That was awesome, I thought Flash was going to sink that boat on starboard.
