Being set up as a Midwinters this is a conversation that needs to be held off line with Rick and the race committee.

Rick has always run the old style start sequence and given we are singled out I am pretty sure his plan is to have a separate start for the F16's.

My preference would be to group all the boats of similar performance into a start even though scoring may be seaparate. Big competitve starts are not something very many of us get to be involved with very often, and I know is a huge detriment to me when I do get to a larger National level event.

Having Waves and the spin boats on the same line does not make sense, but the couple of I17's, F16s and F18s would be great. IMO it would be worth some lobbying.

Not to stir the pot Rick as I know you lurk out there, but some big fleet racing would be great to go with the Tradewinds party, because you are one of the few big attended events left.
