Just seen it on Y&Y front page - interesting idea and, of course, a worthy cause.

I have already emailed our sailing sec and commodore(I hate that title) and suggested its something we should do

Not that it matters, but it'll be interesting to see how they work the results out. Comparing different venues with different tides/wind strengths/waves is going to be tricky, although it will keep this forum going for months!
How about a separate thread to debate this, with each post costing say 50p and all proceeds to Bart's charity? I can think of a few candidates who will be bankrupt within days! ------------- What could possibly go wrong? |

that's exactly the attitude I'll have with it. If anyone is looking for some meaning in a results sheet, then I think they'll be missing the point. I'm in.

Hey, mind your manners sunshine, us Commodores might just consider a little keel hauling to restore respect to the title.  ------------- https://www.corekite.co.uk/snow-accessories-11-c.asp" rel="nofollow - Snow Equipment Deals https://www.corekite.co.uk" rel="nofollow - New Core Kite website |

When I was chair of the committee I referred to my self as chair of the committee. All this pompous naval gazing is a load of boll*cks.
I should have proposed banning it then. Back on subject it seems our club may have an event booked already which would be difficult to bring into the spirit of this event so I will be looking to sail at another club or sail with someone else somewhere. |

Simple enough. You normalise all corrected times against a standard and convert. Probably as good as any is to use the old PY "poor performers" algorithm to exclude the bottom end of the fleet - novices and capsizers - then average all the other corrected times. Then convert each boat's individual corrected time to a percentage of the average corrected time. Put all the results together and the crew with the lowest figure wins. |

Won't the place with the most wind produce the winner? Assuming it isn't getting blown flat weather. But, as Dougal says, that really isn't the point, and I hope our club and loads of others join in with this. ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

It's in the centre diary, not sure about the sea club. There is a cat open that weekend, so probably not. ------------- RS200 |

Now to twist the sailing secretary's arm as even the Gilmer interclub match could accommodate this one race as part of the event.
And you might have been the chair but you did a good job as commode.

I didn't bother going through any form of 'commodore' ... Just registered us and told the club: "We're doing this"

| Pat I am thinking of doing it elsewhere as I may be back in a Hornet next year. Not exactly the boat for Shearwater |

Just been reading about the Bart logo contest - is the obvious drawing style for it out of bounds for legal reasons, do you think?
