That's basically it, Mike.

If I've got enough playground, I'm going to try to give the Waves an upwind finish after they round Mark 5. The mark boat assigned to that part of the course would set a line a couple hundred yards upwind of Mark 5, but still far enough below the main S/F line so they wouldn't interefere with the 18 and 17 finishers.

The Waves would go either S-1-2-3G-5-F or S-1-2-3G-2-3G-5-F, depending on the wind velocity. I can stage it so that everybody finishes about the same time.

The only "dangerous crossing" is when the Waves are reaching to Mark 2, since they'll be crossing the port layline to the 17s weather mark (further to weather of Wave's Mark 1). Waves will be on stbd.; 17s on port. Could get interesting.

BTW, these are the racing circles for the HAVAMEGA:

Tiger, H-20, FX-One

Bravo Course
