Bet you won't believe this but I was going to do this for the Nations Cup. Then decided I should be able to count to 4.
Opps......
Only problem I see is if the get blown off while sailing !
I usually had this problem on the last race of the day, after doing say 6 to 9 laps already,
and then they all seen to run together with some fatigue.
I would relocate the tape on boom after each lap, but if the boom was covered with salt spray it would not re-stick.
