"Rule 42 of the World Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing relates to "Propulsion".

The Basic Rule (RRS 42.1) states that: "Except when permitted in rule 42.3 or 45, a boat shall compete by using only the wind and water to increase, maintain or decrease her speed. Her crew may adjust the trim of sails and hull, and perform other acts of seamanship, but shall not otherwise move their bodies to propel the boat."

I guess this was the only fitting ending for this competition... Australian and American Samoan boats ended up tied both on net points and overall points.

 

American Samoa is provisionally ranked 1st, but I'm not sure that's correct.

it might be that they won the last race. Hilarious set of circumstances though. I presume everyone outside of Australia wants American Samoa to win too
