  • I have looked at the vidio you highlighted again.
    This to meis not like my comments on the single trigger. 
    I have no problem with leaning on the boom to move to weather, nor bearing away after. 

    The rock, which clearly seems to gain speed, worries me. 

    Doing it more than once as shown, is repeated, and i think i would flag a foul.

  • "Futile to resist." Okay. But I still ask for clarity from WS.
    "Others are toying with messaging apps" This really hits home. My local clubs are using WeChat, ubiquitous in the country in which I reside. It's a great messaging app with a ton of great features, but it's extremely weak in other areas, such as search and export. Diagrams on a cellphone? Confirmation of receipt? It's more of a toy than a tool in these areas. Not to mention how well salt water and cell phones mix.
    Thanks for your insight, Ben. Deep and well-considered. But I still have some concerns and reservations. Especially when working in a language which isn't native to me.

  • Hi Everyone,

    We now have a conclusive answer to the question of running Swiss League events for Team Racing.

    The updated kSail Events online platform now provides a fully integrated Swiss League scheduling and results service.

    There are two types of Swiss League available
    • Standard Swiss League - Teams sail single races with teams changing boats after every race.
    • Single Change Swiss League - Teams sail two races at a time with just one team changing boats after each race (there is one double change at the start of each round).

    The Swiss League formats add to the more standard Team Racing scheduling and scoring formats.  All team racing formats can be used for two, three or four boat teams. 

    The updated platform also provides scheduling and results services for Match Racing, League Racing and Divisional Fleet (Pairs) and provides a comprehensive range of tools to aid the running and delivery of scheduled racing.

    More information at https://events.ksail.co.uk/ or drop me a line.

  • Warren .. found it.  I haven't visited it since 2021 so it is what it is.  Just to be clear, it was just a simple compilation of all the rules that we should check ..  to see if there was need of a change to those rules (if allowed by RRS 86). 

    Spreadsheet: Rules that use Start and the rules those rules touch

    There are 2 sheets .. one was based upon the terms .. the next was sorted by the rule.   Anyway .. it was just a WIP worksheet to get a scope of all the places we should look if an NOR/SI approach was used (as opposed to the WS DR). - Ang
