I have the results and revised my story page. So, go to www.catsailor.com for the teaser and links, or click on the logo in upper left corner.

And I must say, for a Worlds why couldn't they find better marks. Heck, I have those big yellow West Marine Marks they could have used and seen.

As for the change of course, I really saw no wind shift that would have required a change, but nonetheless it seemed the RC did the right moves. And while the Change of Course SIs were a little iffy, the mark descriptions SI cleared that up -- Yellow was normal, any changed mark was orange.
Several of the leaders were pretty confused when just before they got to the weather mark the Mark Boat picked it up.
The Mark Boat could have been a little speedier in picking it up, but were perfectly legal according to the SIs.
