Is it defs a P course? I had a feeling it was either a P or an Olympic course? If its windy then we will be screwed on either for any of the reaches! Just gotta hope it's a big course i guess!

I can't imagine any responsible race office setting a w/l for a multi class event. There are so many classes that they are just mindlessly boring for. |

Were as every one following each other down a reach is so much fun and tactical taxing? At least on a run there is tactical options! |

Do you honestly think there are no tactical considerations on a shy reach?
I love having a shy reach in the track from time to time, the judgement of when to hoist, the struggle to get up to the mark if you hoist too early, the art of following the gusts down and the lulls up so that you make the mark going max speed all the way... The sheer survival element as you try and find a bit of wave thats going up at the right moment to stop a pitchpole... The distance that you can put in on the opposition if you get it right, and (unfortunately, the amount they can catch you if you stuff up)... Getting to do some flat out reaching not soaking down all day... Windwards leewards are OK for boats that are 100% powered up all day everyday, or for boring leadmines that don't go any faster no matter what you do with them, but anything else - no thanks. |

Even in slow boats eg: toppers i hated reaches with a passion, unless it was really howling. In medium winds or less they become luffing matches with people climbing really high. In 200s I also hate reaches for the same reason- if someone goes over the top of you then your kite collapses and you are stuffed, not fun.
