How we made it "happen" here on the Chesapeak for "Open" class in all these "one-design" regettas was simple ... Mark Schneider volunteered to do the scoring!!!

What we proposed was that we would come ... pay our $$$$'s and handle all owr own scoring ... all the race commitee has to do is take "record/times". We even told them we didn't want trophies ... So we elimenated all the issues/costs. After several years of our attending ... seeing our boat handling skills ... good sportsmanship ... rubbing elbows ... we are now part of the show!!!!

And the big boat sailors now CHEER the "Beach Cats" as we charge past (we start last in the NASS) ... chasing the PRF-A0 boats ... "DONNEYBROOK" and "ZARAFFRA".

In the small boat events the YC's have learned how to do handicapp scoring for us as we are usually their largest class except for OPTI'S and Laser

Mark Schneider did a little extra and made it work!
