That is the master of understatement, particularly in July did I see?

some pretty exciting news from across the pond.... first US Nationals has been scheduled apparently, and to add some spice, it's shared with the International 14s....

The Gorge is quite a brisk breeze location, it might be one to follow the photos and media on in due course.

So for non-circuit events is it a simple matter of "choose your weapon"?

Presumably if anyone did get away with this defence it would give me the ability to free-pump my way around the course in my Finn?

Yes...but that is covered by the raising of a flag. Which is unlikely to ever happen in a club handicap series.....  Wink

I read those rules as; if an areo (only) event is determined by numbers to be a handicap series then you can change down once the series has started, but to change up a rig then you're a new entry.  Why wouldn't you just say rig change what ever direction and not complicate it by limiting it.

This would lead to 4 handicaps at some clubs and certainly at national level for the aero, a 5, 7, 9 and multi rig py if sailors and clubs return entries correctly.  Time to get the sailors and clubs notified on what you're doing RS and how they should enter at their clubs.

The other interesting thing is what happens in the US and Australia where their Portsmouth Yardstick system is 2/3 figure rather than 3/4 figure like ours?

Thing is if that was the intention why were they not simply put in standard SIs in the same way that contact allowed mark roundings and the like are in the standard SIs for the other RS classes.

Very good question......
