Hi Majsteve



Do think i remember you breaking your ribs during the Worrell one year . OOUUCCHH !!



Was and am still hoping for a similar pro-sail type series racing event that a number of us sailed in in 88 . The Prosail and Ultimate Yacht Race events on H-21s and Formula 40s ,on NBC Sports and ESPN .

yOU MENTIONED AN INTEREST IN BEGINNING ONE ON FORMULA 22S --hope it is still in the works for future years ahead. --Let me know if I can help.



You seem to want to race with a hooter type headsail ,presume on the H-20 with a very favorable rating number , this would be a nice advantage over most in light wind conditions upwind often experience along the Florida coastline in the morning before the seabreeze really kicks in and could potentially win a leg of the race if the weather pattern stayed that way for the duration of that leg , BUT ,what does it show prove or say about racing .--only that a hooter type headsail works well in that particular set of conditions .



Think the race organizer is looking for a truer test of sailing skill as opposed to which rigging headsail option works best in which contition .

Pick up a good shute ,--they do close reach really well ,-and just race equally on a first across the line wins basis . It is much more fun and a truer test of sailing ,tactical ,boat prep ,navagation and seamanship skills.



Can,t imagine trying to race a Prosail type event with ratings ,-No one or spectator would ever really know who won ,it would be very dull,and always considered unfair by some due to the inherant flaws in any rating system .



Hope to see you there .
