Consider the medal race dropped !!

It will be a similar format to the Tiger trophy except the assy's and cat's will do 4 shorter races on the Saturday and the junior/youths, singlehanders (non-assy) and double handers (non-assy) will do 3.

Then one big pursuit on the Sunday.......Optimists off first and then....3 days later........49er's

I think a medal race is a silly idea, its not like its on TV and everyone only see's the last race.

If you're calling it the Scottish Tiger shouldn't the format be the same as the English (rutland ) Event?

i.e. 3 handicap races on Saturday - all classes but seperate starts for fast / slow. Two to count.

And a non-discardable all classes pursuit on Sunday.

It's a proven and popular format that would be hard to beat.

And BTW the only way I can afford to do a significant number of events is by camping - preferably cheap or free in the club grounds. Driving anywhere for the social is a big no. So must be within walking or reasonable Taxi fare.

Right things are moving on, and we are hopefully days away from confirming the event.

Just on the format, I was thinking of a non-discardable pursuit for the junior, youth, single handers and double handed non assy classes.  I then thought for the assy's and the cats a non-discardable medal race.  The series would be low points apart from the medal race which would be double points.  My thought was that this would make it a vital race as the result would have a big effect on the overall series.

Yours thoughts?

My wife thinks its a sh$t idea and would put people off

I was at Celtfest a few years back and there was camping up at inverclyde (on part of the golf course i think).

Is this an option, you could always organise a shuttle bus between the two venues?

Last i heard they had already applied and had been rejected as the afore mentioned campsite is too close to the marina grounds and we do not have all the facilities apparently to be considered as a valid permit holder, well thats what i have heard anyway. An ongoing issue

so the common definition of a poor person now is someone with a camper van , times have moved on since I became very  poor (tent)  , was only my point , next time I see a winniebago at a travellers i'll pop a penny in their begging cup .

 

Get your drift with vans and valid point ,

If largs and SSi continue to plan to run "big " events (which I'm sure they do) it may well be worth approaching council and getting temporary camp site status (and all that entails) which I'm sure would compliment the excellent shore side facilities Largs can offer and a great asset too.
