So how does it work?  

Is it better or worse than PY?  

What's the feedback going to be like after the weekend?

Would you like to use it over PY in the future for club racing and friendly opens?

I think it is just a bit of fun and kudos to them for trying to allow pretty much anything with sails to race against anything else with sails.

Sadly as we all know windsurfers, dinghies, keelboats, foilers and catamarans have such different characteristics it is unlikely to be a true measure. remember it is more about putting the fun into fundraising! I am hoping my 9 year old daughter will take part in her first full race. She is excited to be part of a world record attempt!

What's starting to worry me is the number of twists to the GWR conditions that are starting to emerge.  Confused

Witnesses have gone from being 'independent' (not club members or related to anybody taking part) to 'independent and holding positions of authority (Doctors, Solicitors, Teachers, etc). Some clubs may have to sack their witnesses and start again

'Video of start and finish' is now 'start and finish with footage of every boat crossing the line'. This will mean a static video camera trained along the line for up to an hour if you've got cats and Oppies, like we have.

...and there are other slight 'adjustments' that we will have to make in light of the check list that came out a few days ago.

All of it is do-able but it might have been nice if all the 'must haves' had been laid out right at the beginning. 

Going to be a great day though!

Hi Alistair,

Not seen any of that? and can't find any reference to it on the site. Do you have a link?


Alex

Not just this but it really bugs me that only professional types are deemed worthy. Same for having passport photos countersigned. There's an implicit suggestion that non-professionals are somehow less trustworthy.
