I found it what unbelievable hard to find anything concrete about this race or what the meaning is of the Divisions. Only information I could find was a post by Dave Peters on the old forum.

Seeing as this was my first RTI participation, I would have to say that ANYONE finishing this race was a WINNER in his/her own right. There is nothing like spending 100 miles tweaking your cat for optimal boat speed for extremely extended periods of time. Gives you a different perspective of what you are made of as a sailor. Also, the chance to race against some of the best distance sailors adds to excitement and learning experience.



PLEASE!!!! This post is for "general information" ONLY. I am posting off the "printed results" that I was given at the awards and assume no resposibility for "possible errors, disputed results and correct spelling of names". (My name was not spelled correctly). Bear this in mind, and I'll give you what I have. I am certain that someone with the ability, will be posting complete results.

Sorry for the incomplete "crew names". It appears that the "print out" could only handle so many characters. Probably why my name didn't have all the letters. No big deal. We know who we are.



Mike and myself had the joy of racing his M6.0 in DIV 2 with TF16, JAV 2, P19, N5.5, and N5.5S.



My thanks for all that were involved with putting on, and running this race. We will return.

Thanks,

Dave Peters

Can anyone tell me what the signifante differences are between devisions : Length ? Handicap rating ? One-design ?something else ?



But if Dave Peters post is correct than it is very clear that Micheal Coffman sailed a good race. Although we need to know elapsed time results to trully get a feel for how well he and his crew Nabo did !



But Team Coffman/Nabo congratulations with your 1st place in division 2 !!
