What happened to all the N20s? Chris are you gonna be there?



Does a fat baby fart? Sorry Jake I stole your line.


Yeah, I've really got to come up with some new ones. "Does raggedy Anne have cotton tits!?" is getting old too.

Ed kept up with the boys but it was not the greatest weekend for sailing. Saturday was a wash with the wind showing up only long enough for all of us to get to the course. Sunday, we got one long race in in streaky wind. I have the results at home but F18 was Lennard/Lennard, Wise/Wise, Kohl/Suprenant. Wise beat us with a last minute puff on the other side of the finish line. Olie took the open spin on his double handed Blade but I don't recall how the rest of it shook out. I believe it was all Blades in the top three. In addition to the Blades, open spin had 2 I20s and a Supercat 20TR.

It was a huge fleet and great to see such a terrific turnout at a local regatta again.

Thanks Jake. If you go and look at our Tuesday night racing results you will see it is turning into an all Blade podium. Great little boats, with good sailors. Hmmm 59.9, 61.5 60.9, 60.0, 59.4, 59.0 - I'm just sayin' <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

yeah - same here. The leading I20 was 8 minutes in front of the lead Blade and was corrected over by 3 minutes. Granted, it was light air lake sailing...but still.

Try rescoring the regatta using the F18 numbers..... Bet it makes more sense then... (your best guess of the average experience and skll assesments of the sailing teams)

Alternatively..
What is the rating that the I20 would have needed to win?

In the end... the F16 sailors can individually opt to use any faster (then their published) rating they want for the regatta.

PN numbers aside, thanks to the Lake Norman Yacht Club and the organisers of Catfest. Had a great weekend and got to look over a lot of well rigged boats. Great folks, great food. Ed


Still hazey after all these beers.

Agreed. Hank and the rest of the RC did a great job considering the conditions. I'm looking forward to next year.
