D-Zero

Originally posted by kneewrecker Originally posted by iGRF I wonder how Nathan Batchelor is going to enter the Sailjuice series in the new Ovington built VX-One (I saw it at Southampton)without a handicap then, someone must issue it. I guess they could try using whatever Ullswater gave it as starting point to discussion?  It would be based on fact, not fiction, after all.

Just for clarity, neither I or other zero owners have moaned about our py.  We are all a relaxed bunch and don't expect to be given a generous number for the sail juice.  How can we have the current vehicle for guesstimating new class pys does not exisist.  If it's 1010 then so be it.  I don't speak for the class when I post, but I was just peeved off to see one new class get nailed and the other not on what seemed and rya document.  It's been cleared up and it's been sorted.  Simples.  The SJ series is a different kettle of fish.  What will be will be, it just can't wait to race I'm a fleet of 20 at the GGP....

Ha, call that sorting it? All rated faster than a Blaze, better hope Mike doesn't turn up in the light one and get it sailed off 1065. All at the Southampton Boat show in glaring public exposure and alongside Barts bash, do you think anyone will be interested in the slightest about the Zero v Aero outcome of good sailor v good sailor,that troubles the current interested parties, all it has done is to accept a ludicrous rating, which in turn trickles down to what? an Aero 7 at 1015 which must assume the Zero 7 will also have to accept that.

All at the hands of Sailracer who are clearly protectionist of the status quo and existing classes for the sake of their own numbers.

Who'd be a supplier to all this, up there on a stand trying hard to convince folk to buy, whilst out on the water the rest couldn't give a hoot whilst they chuck up as many obstacles as possible to race participation.

I will stop sailing my Lightning until the PY becomes more advantageous or my performance improves. Which ever comes first....after all it's winning that counts?
