Hows this for a comittee boat: This was the comittee boat at MSC East Coast Piers Race 2007! I don't think you could see the flags though, there was no wind but boy I am sure you could hear the cannons! |

I remember the topper nationals had a small canon for the start sequence. ------------- Ross If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

when I'm sailing i'm of the opinion the comm boat should be small enough so as not to block the view either side but with a 20ft mast on it so the flags are visible and a truly gigantic air-horn or similar so the darn thing can actually be heard, specially when you're finishing, in a blow... .... however, when I'm OOD these priorities are generally replaced with a hankering for a nice warm cabin, preferably with brew-up equipment and a reliable engine plus enough fibreglass round me to afford protection from the inevitable last-minute bargers and shouters  ------------- Feeling sorry for vegans since it became the latest fad to claim you are one |
