Blimey they have made that really difficult to comply with.
I cant see many clubs being able to find people who are willing to come along just for the sake of the record. I think the ethos of Barts Bash has been lost with the world record nonsense. I think most clubs will run a race raise a bit of cash and say sod it to the rest. |

If we have someone watching the race on the numerous web cams at our club does that count?
If so Link is here... http://www.shotwicksailing.org/webcam/ |

After a bit of help, having moaned a lot.
It seems by hook and crook we've got everything in place (as long as we get the no of boats :S). Just looking through again and I cant decide how long the course should be. It mentions 1km as a minimum distance but then the race should be at least 15 mins long? I'm thinking of setting a course that's a km long and then do three laps. What's everyone else doing? |

I think we're all sorted too :-) going to be a very busy day!
We're going to race for an hour (usual length of race), the distance isn't a issue as the length of our lake is over 1km |

Our little club in Somerset seems to have it all sorted too, not my doing others have worked very hard though.
We have 46 entries, several times the normal Sunday turnout, we will have Barts Bash in the morning, a lunchtime BBQ and another race in the afternoon. Many who have entered have never raced before, they just want to be part of it all, which is great. Its going to be crowded on the start line and the wind direction won't be perfect, but that's not the point, it's all about being part of it and raising a bit of cash for a good cause. |

I believe we are ready to go at Combs. 33 boats at the last count. We are a reservoir feeder for the canal and it has not rained so water is low. Should be fun!
What is nice is the enthusiasim...another local club is sending a few boats and sailors who don't usually race, are.

What is Bart's number for each class? State secret? Or is it something my browser won't show. We went through all the hoops to do this, but the IT seems excessively difficult.

The briefing at HISC said the numbers weren't available yet. Cue Grumph and allegations of gerrymandering! Also world wide results won't be posted for a couple of weeks!

So we've had a race and we're not able to work out who won? I know our race was bloomin' close (not me you understand). I'm only interested in our own club at the minute, I understand worldwide will take some time.It shouldn't be hard to assign PNs to Uk-based dinghy fleets (unless someone fronts up with D-Zero or RS Aero :-) )

We worked our results out using our club PY list. I believe the Barts Bash people are going to process the raw data and apply their ratings to them to get the overall results.
