Hi David
Sorry, I forgot to reply to this part
Just think...having to sail all of 12 races knowing there was no drop....just out of curiousity, how many drops are there going to be at the nationals, seeing that we are to have 12 races, if the rumour mill is correct.
I'm not sure why the rumour mill has anything to do with this as the Notice of Race has been on the NMCC web site since mid-August. No need to listen to rumours!
Yes it does say there "could" be twelve races maximum, but I can give you a "real" rumour that this will very likely be revised to 10 shortly with two of the back-to-back pairs being replaced by long races.
If we had run the full 12 races there would have been 2 drops, otherwise only one drop.
