All this talk of automated systems and the like it sounds great.
Then you look at most sailing clubs where ROs are volunteers in many cases set in their ways and then tell them they need to learn a new system. We discussed this at my local club, spoke to some of the ROs and they said if they had to use a laptop/fully electronic system they would not RO anymore. We stuck with pen and paper and have a member who is happy to process all the results through sailwave to get them on them club site and upload to the PYS online site. We have a fancy box of tricks that does multiple starts and times so just flags to raise and lower and recalls to handle. a competent RO and do it all alone if necessary but it is much easier with 2 people and fits all RO types.

It could well come to that, it's cost me more than its worth to store these past three years. |

Very historic, never knew 'Rob Roy' was really Robert the red.

Thanks for the offer, no where to put it at the moment. Why red?

What you need is a nice new minisail project, I've got just the donor boat to get you started (again) lovely newish sail, one of those seesaw plank seat things like the canoe. I've even painted the centreboard red as I think its a colour that would suit you and is of course fast. |

I feel for you, but I do think you are very unusual in not sailing for that length of time . I think I have missed about two months worth of sailing.But then again I sailed at every opportunity at my club. In fact I even went sailing when we could only pleasure sail which is something I never normally do lol . In fact a lot of clubs have even reported an increase of people taking part in races . Fingers crossed the vaccines work as hoped and we can return to something like normal life by summer 2021 .

Biggest issue for me will be restarting, probably have been a year since I last sailed, (assuming sailing starts properly at my club by April), I have found other things to do.

Back on topic, this is looking less relevant for most of us with 75% of the country in tier 4 from tomorrow night. The RYA page says WRT racing "In tier 4 organised sporting activity is not permitted, except for under-18s and disabled people."
