One other question on long distance scoring. What do you guys think about how it should be scored: cumulative elapsed time vs scoring each leg as a 1,2 3 etc and then lowest points wins like a regualr regatta?

Last year we did our long distance event which is 3 legs and about 150 miles and the first day was a light air day and a couple teams got away from the pack and on the subsequent days it was just impossible to make up the time. The cumulative time format seems to make light air days much more important since the times are larger.
