Null is spot on. I only play at cycling as a sport, but still own 4 bikes ![]() Do take sailing slightly more seriously, but only ever own one boat at one time. Did own a radial rig as well as a standard rig when I owned a laser though. ![]() ![]() |

yep, each to their own.... one assumes given the choice of the Fireball, the guys who won the BM so effectively weren't too fussed about the 'series' either. ;-)

Or, with the fact that the Sailjuice series is 4 to count from 8, perhaps they are going for the first two places, one in a fireball, one in a 505...

If I were a flyweight Aero 5 sailor, I'm not sure I'd appreciate Mr Barton 'ringing in' and pushing my PY down by racing on a windy day when I'd be struggling and need a higher PY...

good job prevailing wind in the UK is generally light to moderate, therefore the little complaining sh*t could more than get his own back with a 9 rig.....

I'd hope there would be enough returns (if this wasn't a pursuit) from the Aero5 over a season that one person switching rig would be unnoticable. However, if it always happens when the wind picks up that the big guys swap down, then it would have an effect.So will light guys switching up when it is a drifter.
I do agree with those who say that rig switching is a personal choice, and if the rules allow it (so if the online entry can be changed on the day) then so be it. In the case of the winner, I assume he didn't bring both boats and choose on the shore, but made the decision a little earlier, looking at the forecast, which might have proved wrong? |

Its not a new thing for people to turn up at the BM with the boat of choice to win. I believe its been happening for years.
Surprised the 420s werent higher up.
