We're doing it at Hunts.  Club racing usually starts at 11.30, but for this we're holding a special race at 11.00am.  The lake could get busy!
the same, but different...

Remarkably complicated way of working out results... I would have taken the average corrected time for each single race/course and converted all corrected times to percentages, then awarded the prizes on the basis of lowest percentage (= sailor who beat the average at his race by the most. Sure it could be gamed, but what can't.

I couldn't care less where I finish in this race. Entering, taking part, raising money and remembering Bart are the important bits.
Needs to sail more...

You might as well just hold it at 1130 as a club race hadn't you?

I'll be at a wedding at Studland the day before. I must check to see where nearby is taking part that we can join in with.

Exactly, which is why I would have picked a much easier way to work it out than having to measure course length with GPS and creating a common handicap system for every entrant.

Seems to me that it will be pretty hard for most clubs to get an accurate measurement, if they can get one at all.
