Trying to stir the s**t will not work!!

Sorry Rick, but you are starting to annoy me....

I think you can exclude full time pros from this discussion.

Why, they need to publisice themselves as much, if not more than us mere  mortals.  What is your problam with the pro's.  One of the most satisfying sails I had was beating , one of the pros.  Let's just find out who the best is!!

I have no problem with pros but isn't this discussion about how people dveleop skills and how those skill progress with the size of the fleet they sail in?

Pros can progress a lot in very small groups with intensive coaching, lots of time and analyis. e.g. 2 boat AC project.

Huge resources applied to a small group = massive skills increase.

I kinda got the feeling the OP was talking about weekenders ...

 

I know that you will find (If you care to check back) that I did say earlier that I was changing the thread.....

... are you now ... I am sure the OP will be delighted.

Changing the thread slightly I would like to see all of the Olympic Team do an Endeavour style event, so that we can see who is the best of the very best...  And by that I mean they all sail against each other.. Then we would have proof whether Iain Percy, Ben Ainslie, et al is the best sailor..

The more I think about it, what great publicity for the UK Olympic squad. Even may get the BBC interested in that!!!
