Winter races

   At first we had the same thought as there is no doubt at HISC that sailjuice is an excellent series, however, we soon realised it didn't fit with the 'great lakes' handicapping as HISC has it's own handicaps based upon a some basic tidal assumptions. The Sailjuice uses a shared handicap base upon handicaps specifically for large lakes for the 'top' of each class. I also believe (but may be corrected) that part of the sailjuice idea was to have series hosted in central inland locations.
I'm not sure if it was ever 'pitched' to sailjuice, but i think there was some consultation to make sure no dates clashed. 

I think for this year the focus is on making it a cracking event in it's own right. If it's good it'll find it's place in the calendar whether that be part of a series or not.
