YachtsandYachting.com Forumites Open Meeting

Going back to my rugby days, I think, rather than allowing them into the club house, it would be better if they all stood on the club lawn in a circle in the driving rain, in their shorts, sucking quarter of an orange while recieving a bol---king from some inarticulate bloke vaguely connected with the sport. They would be grateful for back to back races then into the communal bath and drink 20 pints so you forget how bad it all was and do it again next week?

Just to throw a thought in.  The FOM will be B2B racing and if anyone chooses to go ashore it's up to them to get back to the start area in time.  I guess it's tougher on the slower boats, me included, so maybe it's a good idea to have a longer break at some stage.  I am talking to the contact at Broxbourne tomorrow and will discuss this.  More likely it's a possible problem on Sunday than Saturday

Maybe kill two birds with one stone here - race as normal on Saturday, and then tip a whole lot of salt in the lake before Sunday's racing and see what difference it makes.
