Yep, it's doing the rounds on FB.
Hoping to put it into our calendar

Just seen it on Y&Y front page - interesting idea and, of course, a worthy cause.


What could possibly go wrong?

Not that it matters, but it'll be interesting to see how they work the results out.  Comparing different venues with different tides/wind strengths/waves is going to be tricky, although it will keep this forum going for months!

How about a separate thread to debate this, with each post costing say 50p and all proceeds to Bart's charity?  I can think of a few candidates who will be bankrupt within days!

that's exactly the attitude I'll have with it.   If anyone is looking for some meaning in a results sheet, then I think they'll be missing the point.  

I'm in.

Hey, mind your manners sunshine, us Commodores might just consider a little keel hauling to restore respect to the title.

When I was chair of the committee I referred to my self as chair of the committee. All this pompous naval gazing is a load of boll*cks.
I should have proposed banning it then.

Back on subject it seems our club may have an event booked already which would be difficult to bring into the spirit of this event so I will be looking to sail at another club or sail with someone else somewhere.

Simple enough. You normalise all corrected times against a standard and convert.

Probably as good as any is to use the old PY "poor performers" algorithm to exclude the bottom end of the fleet - novices and capsizers - then average all the other corrected times. Then convert each boat's individual corrected time to a percentage of the average corrected time. Put all the results together and the crew with the lowest figure wins.
