Just that we do not have the problem of communicating (in between races) with guys on wild boats moving around. Might happen that I have to organize something along your guidelines at our next regatta when still no PRO available for the saturday.<br /><br />My 2รง: The figure eight course is good but can get dangerous at the leeward mark.<br />What is the green area for? People who want to sit out and do repairs or people who shall/must score, like e.g. starting with the first placed sailor and than the next and so on. One needs the Ritchie Wet Notes in the pocket. <br />Anyway good food for thought.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019613595647619687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-83944447316180550762010-05-12T08:41:54.627+01:002010-05-12T08:41:54.627+01:00I had to look up Rule 10.
"When boats are on...I had to look up Rule 10.<br /><br />"When boats are on opposite tacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard-tack boat."<br /><br />If it is clear who the gate is then surely it is clear that you can not hit them or call starboard on them. Maybe an amendment that if you hit the gate you owe everyone a beer would be suitable.<br /><br />A problem with port tack start is some clever sod will start and then tack to STB and fuck with every other starter.Doug Culnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539164499743848586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-54587909087407350382010-05-12T07:33:59.712+01:002010-05-12T07:33:59.712+01:00no RRS rule 10 confusions.no RRS rule 10 confusions.MARKLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777292264295936655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-48648300066327992932010-05-12T06:55:11.549+01:002010-05-12T06:55:11.549+01:00Thanks for the feedback but I do not understand wh...Thanks for the feedback but I do not understand why:<br /><br />"Safer if the rabbit (gate boat) sails stbd with fleet ducking on port."<br /><br />Please explain,<br /><br />DougDoug Culnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539164499743848586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860987473436010329.post-63049948723911080672010-05-12T02:30:56.687+01:002010-05-12T02:30:56.687+01:00Nick and I have been doing short course gate star...Nick and I have been doing short course gate starts for training recently. <br /><br />Safer if the rabbit (gate boat) sails stbd with fleet ducking on port. <br /><br />Also I found my boat was much more likely to ventilate than Nick's BR RX so I would on never being the rabbit (if I was to ventilate. <br /><br />Helps to have the waiting fleet to be well upwind of the bottom mark to make it easy for them to accelerate and reach across to duck rabbit.MARKLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777292264295936655noreply@blogger.com
