Well, if they are going to start this..........

Not sure why RC goes out of its way to NOT do JHA (especially when that would have provided beat/run and not the usual reach/reach)? If you want to do triangles and W/L, i would suggest that all of these boats come out on the weekend when we do that in the daylight! Since most of these boats DO NOT come out and sail on the weekends, I would assume that they do NOT prefer these types of courses. And then to do these courses during the last series, when it gets dark right after the start, when most these boats do not have or use a GPS (or do not know how to use them) just seems to take the "beer can" out of "beer can races." Hard to bring out or train newbies on courses designed for one design boats (R19s, J22s, etc) , not for larger PHRF boats. Then you get cutsie with a tricky course involving a mid-leg start (sort of) and paint yourself into a no-win corner by getting stuck trying to be in 2 places at one time. Congrats to all who recognized the dilemma and were able to take their own time and relay it to RC. A more serious race would have been thrown out.

Do not let this critique mask the fact that you are owed and BIG THANK YOU for volunteering to run races for us and we do appreciate that and we will be out next week sailing whatever course you deem fit. Just trying to bring out the BIG PICTURE of Wednesday Twilight racing.

Thanks again RC :)
