4 boat lenghts??
Wow... before seeing the new rules... the question of increasing the zone from two to four was overwhelmingly rejected by the PRO's and skippers over here..
Perhaps in this new rules context... the zone will have to be increased from three to four for cats.
We certainly need to get some rules clinics going this winter!
I was talking to one of the IJ's over here a few weeks ago and his view was that more boat lenghts was good for faster boats. Remember 2 BL was defined a LONG time ago when in general boats were going slower. If there is some wind, 2 BL is just a second or 2!
I do not see any reason not to make the zone bigger for fast boats (or smaller of slow ones)!!!
