Ours are "being processed": entry numbers in the 70,000s...

64 out at Bough Beech including ranging from Oppies to a I14. Atmosphere matched the great sailing conditions too.

Anyone any idea what the "speed" figure represents in the emerging BB results?

My uninformed guess is that its an average speed round the course corrected by handicap. Judging by some of the results I see so far the poor ****** have an awful lot of data cleansing to do...

Looks like they've just re-set it all.

Brilliant reports on this site, on local news, loads of people all saying the same thing, best turn out for ages, most people we've had on the start line etc.... Really good to seeing so much sailing going on and the pics of all the different classes competing away together, brilliant.

Looks as if the results may be a while away... Sooner them than me: I bet they're looking at a data cleansing exercise beyond their worst nightmares...
Just going to post all the Guinness nonsense. Reckon it took me about half a day to sort it out and I'm not sure I managed to jump though every hoop. Worrying that when I reviewed the finish video I picked up a couple of errors in the text version of the results. And that meant some time paging through some of the worst video I've ever seen! Like the camera suddenly wobbling to the committee boat floor as I bent down to pick up the X flag! |

DITTO to all of that! A fantastic day out, much camaraderie, just a shame that I felt like a 90yr old all day Monday. Could barely bend down to feed the cat or tie my shoes. Correction: Felt like a 90yr old that had been whacked repeatedly on the bum with a plank. Those Mirror sidedecks are uncomfy! |

Someone said, "You know when you are getting old, when, bending down to tie your shoelace you check to see if there is anything else to do while you are down there!"

I am not amused. I did have to do that! Was taking my shoes off, and realised I could put my glasses back in their case at the same time. A pity there was not a handy packet of Werthers Originals on the floor as well. |
