Do you think the "education process" could be started at the "Havasue" North American's ... some pic's taken ... and a "Hotline" article generated. This would set the standard for next years racing in the HCA-NA educating both RC officials and individual racers.
The problem with this is that it's unpredictable. We may not have a significant shift during a starting sequence at the HAVAMEGA, so that photo op may never happen.
I'm tackling one issue at a time - right now it's to get people used to the "green triangle - red square" course change placard displayed at the gate. PU was determined not to use it, but it makes too much sense for small boats that don't use navigational electronics. It's also a lot easier on the gate boat, since they don't have to write anything on a white board.
I do like the changes over the last several years ... they have improved the racing!!!!!
Then those changes have been worthwhile.
