Hi Matt
good info to know
But I still think a 45 minute race is too short for 75 boats.
Is their a huge consensus that a 45 minute race sort out the 75 boats by skill?
Asked anothe way... Is this the right number for a Hobie 16 race with that fleet size.?
If the races are too long and no positions are changing that's a waste of time. Conversely, if they are too short and luck and chance knock you back 5 or 10 places that you would have made up with a proper length race... that's bad as well.
Usually, you have longer races with larger fleets...Are you guys happy with the lenght? That would set the number of races per day as well.
Finally, a fixed number of races in the championship allows you to manage your risk in any race as you approach the end of the championship. Is this aspect of the game important to the 16 sailors?
