Nope, can,t say i have. Will certainly check them out next month. 
To be honest my days consist of sailing, get off the water, beers within "the grove" (jordy accent for that) then hooters for chicken wings and ocean drive for night clubs.......shopping hasn't yet crossed my mind.

So back to sailing, what do people think of the scoring?

I actually like it. Not traditional, but easy for the non sailing public to understand. I am sure some traditionalists will hate it. 
Not for silly courses like we had at weymouth though.
Also would make a much more clean final race., as long as we are not missing something on the right there.

Totally stupid, over complicated

It needs to be in line with all levels of sailing below it, and this idea would never work at club level, there is nothing wrong with a normal system

They need to scrap the medal races too, Ben should have got silver and Iain and Bart gold in weymouth

I think one final race makes the final result very weather dependent. As different people can have a significant speed advantage depending on whether it is 5 or 25 knots!!!

Oh why do the powers-that-be feel the need to faff about with the format and scoring of sailboat racing all the time in order to 'widen it's appeal'?  Constant need to dumb everything down to the lowest possible level so the cast of TOWIE can "get it"... is this really neccessary? 

This system puts everything (in terms of who wins) on the conditions on-course during the final race. OK, that's going to be interesting, nay possibly exciting in some circumstances I agree.  But it won't find out who the best sailor is?
