It's not whether anyone is watching or cares. They do watch, I just don't think how it is scored is going to play against the drama. Plus if you screw up the racing and the racers go away, there's nothing to watch. The only reason folks on here care about corrected is because they understand it.Non sailors (which comprise alot of the spectators) do not understand the rating system.I bet most big boat sailors(Phrf, Irc etc.)can't relate to portsmouth. How this race is rated or scored is not going to make any difference to sponsors or spectators it will however make all the difference to the racers.
If it was done as a single 1 design fleet there would be either 12 or 8 boats signed up instead of 20.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
