We encourage the crews to be mentioned in reports and ask for them in the guidelines. I've added in the full results for the Cadet Worlds reports and I'll talk to the author to get the crews mentioned.

True enough, but isn't that all the more reason that the newcomer gets mentioned in any results? Can't think of many sports where the other participant isn't mentioned in the case of placing.

I find it extraordinary, I know my high level experience is more limited to windsurfing but I wouldn't have been happy as the front end of a tandem and not being mentioned, particularly when we'd done something spectacular.

It's wrong, in my mind it would have been wrong back then in the seventies (my tandem racing period) it's even more wrong now, there are two in the boat, both play a significant role (well you do if I'm helming), both MUST be mentioned.


Well, 2017 has started in a most extraordinary way... I agree wholeheartedly with iGRF! Big smile
I'm not arguing. I'm explaining why I'm right.

It's just good to see someone right at the top that I've actually watched doing ordinary club racing while I've been RO.

So long as you aren't a Clarkson wind up merchant or a politician, I'd imagine the locals will be very hospitable. Hope so, anyway.

football or rugby might be some trouble, but more technical sports like sailing and cycling etc probably like minded people, more enlightened if you like

That isn't the case for a lot of teams.

My crew isn't as good at helming as I am but I'm not as good as crewing as she is. I wouldn't mind betting that this is the case on the majority of regular teams.......in our case she also does more work.

I tried helming a Merlin once, we didn't do too badly, the next time I tried crewing, I think we were last or next to last. Crewing on some craft requires greater skill than helming imv.
