[quote=pocreva]Jerome and the everyone,
I am attempting to shake up the way we score our regatta. I want new/less experienced sailors a chance at immortality and hardware on their mantle. The NOR stated 3 trophies, I changed it to include 5 trophies in each class. There is nothing in the NOR defining a # for a particular one design class. Here is the plan for the trophies at the Slip to Ship:
4 classes
1. A fleet - 1,2,3,4,5
2. B fleet - 1,2,3,4,5
3. A fleet:Spinnaker Class - 1,2,3,4,5
4. B fleet: Spinnaker Class - 1,2,3,4,5
Round Deer Island - Overall Winner with corrected time
YOU(the sailor) decide which fleet you are in, A or B. It is based on experienced vs. novice and you are the judge. However if Andy Humphries signs up for the B fleet, he will be shamed into the A fleet. Is this fool proof? No. In 2015, if you win the B fleet in 2014, you are out of the B and into the A! Congratulations!!!
IF your class can generate XX boats, I will honor that commitment and score your fleet independent but parallel with the trophy classes. The winner of any designated one design fleet meeting this criteria will win a POUND of WORLD CLASS PULLED PORK BBQ! You can win both a trophy and some of the OSYC butt.
I hope this generates MORE excitement and interest in participating. However, Jerome, you know as well as I that the last boats to Ship Island eat the dregs of the chicken bucket so Sail Well My Friend, Sail Well.
Let the flames begin!
