The Fautasi Race Committee has spoken and has selected six fautasi to race on Monday at 7:30 am

Manulele Tausala – Nu’uuli
Fuao – Vatia
Fealofani – Fagasa
Taema – Leone
Aeto – Pago Pago
Tama o le Muaau – Faleniu

The other fautasi which raced: Paepaeulupo’o- Aua, Iseula – Fagatogo, Matasaua – Manu’a and Fetu o le Afiafi – Fagaalu were disqualified because according to the Committee they did not follow the rules.  For example some were in front when the race started and one exhibited unsportsmanlike behavior.

The only captain who spoke up regarding the committee’s decision was the Paepaeulupo’o’s skipper Voloti Malietoa.

As news of the disqualification of some fautasi spread, there were exchanges of more than just words among mostly supporters.  This was witnessed in Malaloa and also Aua.

More to come
