[quote=DamonLinkous]Just registered! Everyone go ahead and get on the list. You help the club by giving them advance knowledge of paid attendance and you help yourself by reducing your stress level the morning of the regatta since you are already registered and paid.
Looks like they will have some nice long sleeve dry-shirts this year instead of another cotton t-shirt. Those things are expensive so register early and buy extra an extra shirt for your crew to make sure you get one!
Rob and Robbie, we need Joe to make a statement about how this "b" fleet will be run. I think there is some confusion between the "novice" fleet and the official "non-spin A" and "non-spin B" which are based on handicap numbers.
I'm assuming that there would be ONE novice fleet for absolute racing beginners that would cover all classes. These novices would then still compete with each other on a Portsmouth handicap basis.
In the case of a four boat fleet where there is a potential fifth boat in the novice fleet it would be up to the fleet members to "recruit" the novice to race with them instead of in the novice fleet.
The whole thing is simply to have more people have more fun, so don't stress too much.[/quote]
