When they get interested in racing... they will figure out the system and get their toy properly rated. Till then.. it won't matter to the fleet or to the sailor. Your life is no different as well.
Mark, you didn't read my post.
I stated quite clearly that I can't get these guys to know their own Portsmouth numbers. Do you think that they'll magically get the impetus to go get measured? And of course they won't, and then what? I refuse them entry to the regatta? I don't care about regional races - those are well supported. At least they're better supported than mine is, obviously.
