Topic: Travellers Series... Posted: 10 Nov 17 at 10:20am |
I idly looked at the results of the RS200 SE travellers series because we hosted the last one, and was struck by how few boats (4 from I think 95) had actually done enough events (3 from 6) not to count a DNC. Looking at their other series the pattern is much the same (other than SW which had a few more).
http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/199506/RS200-Regional-Champions-2017 The much hyped Sailjuice series (4 from 7) is a bit difficult to read, but looks like 48 from 650 which I suppose is marginally better. Its hard, though, to avoid the conclusion that most folks don't care about travellers' series. Back when I was doing winter events regularly, long before any series, I would guess we usually did more than half of the major events anyway, which back then I guess were Grafham, QM, Pompey, Rutland. So, do travellers' series bring anything to the party for you? Do you make a special attempt to try and get a series in? |
