Yeah ... The text was misleading but I did not find a colorful finish pic of two 17's... I really just wanted a big pink mark in the photo for the thread.

.... the pic is actually of Meyer and another 17 at the Weather Mark... I was not on the RC finish boat on Sunday for the big finish. Most of their races on Sat were very close as well.

Interesting debate on the RC boat. How long of a finish line. We set a separate finish line on starboard and opted to make it a decent length. This stinks for getting sail numbers off down wind finishers but it seemed to give the racers more options on finishing by not having to call a lay line through a 5 boat length finish line.

Am I right about that?
Several recent regattas have set short finish lines for me and they are great if everyone is spread out and the race has been decided.... (We could have raced those guys for two hours and they were not going to separate)
