Dunno about Nick Craig but it looks like a couple of EPS's might have gift wrapped his botty..

Makes me wonder what a Beard powered EPS could have done to him..

Graeme, it wasn't my finest ever result.  Some fairly massive mistakes on my part really.  There was an EPS that was going very nicely indeed!  But to be honest It was hard to spot anything other than a few boats in front of you it was that busy!  Hopefully next year the wind will blow from another direction to allow for a proper beat and some kind of separation.  I always felt like I was stuck in third gear if that makes sense??

To be fair, our results were slow to come through the year before - mostly for the reasons Simon described. We put a huge effort in this year to make sure that wasn't repeated.
Well done to Northampton fir what sounds another successful event - not least in terms of the charity perspective and in memory of Steve.

Woaa.
BRASS MONKEY @ Yorkshire Dales results were availiable at the venue within an hour of last finisher, and sent to Sailjiuce / Sailracer within a couple of hours (would have been immediately if we had any Internet connection at the club).

Yes YDSC very good at getting results published both at the club and to us.  IMHO best to get something out quickly,  even if provisional

The OK results look pretty much mixed in with the Solos. There are some big names in the OKs, but as we all "know" that the Solo handicap is quite kind, maybe the OK one isn't far off right?

At the winter series I'm doing the OKs (PY 1100) start with the Lasers (PY1088) and generally beat them around the course.  YMMV.

Just as a bit of perspective over the last 50 odd years the OK PY number has varied between 1100 and 1116. Not that a 1965 OK is any more like a 2015 OK than a 1965 Fireball is like a 2015 one.

Back in history the OK was something of a PY hitter, all the more so in the light stuff. I remember them walloping a very high class fleet in a light airs Burnham Icicle (when that was just about 'the' premier winter event) - a wonderfully named boat too - hoof hearted!

An another example of how the shifting sands of the PY system can cast doubt over how the numbers are arrived at.
