Just my "two bob's worth"

Combined start should not really give anyone an advantage (or disadvantage), don't we all sail off the same yardstick????

As for spectators....much better spectacle.

And a variety of courses, absolutely. As for the number of races, more yes but not sure if I am up to the 14 Chris suggests...maybe time to take the fitness thing seriously.

From the spectator's view, would be nice where possible to bring the fleet close inshore on at least one leg, spectators bring interest, interest brings new sailors and with that the class continues to grow.

Great ideas and well thought out to all.
