I prefer having drops, makes me go for the win and take some risks.
Different sailing venues have their own individual characteristics such as the large number of white round bouys in the shallow water in front of the club at Barmera, only one of those was the end of the start/finish line but which one? Hard to tell when you cant see the other end of the line as it is obscured by boats.
It is difficult for sailors from other clubs to quickly work out the local rules and characteristics that we become acustom to sailing at the same venue week in week out.
Maybe, in the interest of maximum participation drops should be considered for large regattas.
Any chance of seeing the race times for Opening day online?
Thanks
