Here's another scenario, where I had the weather mark on the move during the sequence (no games this time):

Big wind shift (25°) comes through with about 2 minutes to go on the sequence. It looks like it's going to stick, so I postpone. The pin boat was right on the mark, and since we were in only 15 ft. of water, I knew he could get it re-set quickly. I told the weather mark to get going as the pin boat was pulling the pin, then asked the timer to start a sequence at the next even minute. In less than two minutes, the line was reset and we were in a sequence. I then turned my attention to the weather mark and got him squared away with about 1:30 to go, then went to the back of the boat to call the line. I didn't bother with the gate until after the start.

Bottom line - I delayed the start by only 4 minutes while resetting the course. Personally, I hate sitting around between races, so I work really hard as a RO to get people racing, not waiting.

And people say RC work is boring!
