Think Steve has it, how many helms actually sail with their crew or how many crews get invited by the class association and have to find a helm!

But then it would have to be sailed in Lasers, and Lasers are so idiosyncratic that only competition would be between Laser champions.

How would that work? What single hander would be equally competitive with the Topper 4.2 champion and the Phantom champion? |

I'd love to witness that event sailed in Alto's it would be great to watch the use of the swivel pole v's those who sailed only hot angles, it's also not a bad boat for light as well as heavy crews, there's enough volume to cope with the weight difference and only if it were very windy would light crews suffer.
How many do they need? Twenty? So a hundred grand, it would cost and it would probably launch that class if the second hand boats were sold on. Money well spent, it would have to be a version 2, wash through hull design. Ho Hum, dreamworld. Edited by iGRF - 12 Oct 15 at 6:18pm |

crew with trapeze experience vs no experience
Think it would be too much of a handicap to teams with none Rs vision would be a good shout, the boats are so sh*t that who ever could get it round the course the quickest should be given more than just a trophy at the end of it. it also solves a lot of weight issues because its basically a keel boat/no one sails them and they're cheap as chips

Life ain't fair. Whatever boat you pick will favour some more than others.

I think what they should do is have every entrant take their own boat. There should be a draw on the first day as to which champion sails which boat. Then the event should run off PY.
It's not perfect, but would generate interest and add to the the fun factor. Edited by Paramedic - 12 Oct 15 at 10:38pm |
