It still sends out a confussing message.

So is it two classes or one, witht he option to select your rig size weather dependant?

No, but you should see the size of the water
bottle in my boat!

I think it's ok that it's all a slight jumble with
the rigs for this first event, this is after all our
first 'pure' look at the two rigs racing together
with enough boats to see what the spread is
like (FedWeek being more of a destruction
derby). I think after Saturday we'll be in a
better position to debate how things move
forward.

Best of luck to you all this weekend. I'm a bit gutted but
circumstances have meant that I can't make the trip south for the
nationals this coming weekend. I will meet you all in person one of
these days. Hope the sailings great and the social is even better.
Cheers Keith.

Looks like decent breeze (the forecast for Sunday is looking fairly
heroic btw). You all seem to have the booms right out downwind, do
you not get fairly big back-winding problems? Pinning the main in
makes a BIG difference to speed.

yep - the booms in the pics do look a long way out ...
haven't had any backwinding probs (though we're all on 8.4s)
I tend to trim the main so it's set going downwind.
If I pin it I get blown over in the gusts!

sounds like people are sailing the boats in subtly different ways - will be really interesting to see what's fastest at the weekend  (especially on Sunday looking at the forecast!)
