Be sure to post pictures here of the progress. Banana hammock optional.


So, you're saying, I can either wear the bananna hammock, or NOT?

Wow Brett... never knew you would appreciate that view :P

I for one am in 100% agreement with Mark on that point. The Area Qualifiers have their own issues and allowing boats to be used at a qualifier that have unsupported numbers is a bad idea.


Hey Ding,
Mark's my bud. I was just pushing his buttons.I realized a long time ago ,it's no sense arguing about ratings systems,except to have a few laughs.It's just like the make-up/ pig thing.

Yep, the ratings argument will be a neverending debate, and almost always spirals downhill.

The area qualifier eligibility issue is simply a red herring.

By decree it's a handicap regatta. Why? because it needs to include all of the active racers in the region to award slots.

So, .... to include ALL classes... you need a FAIR handicap system that includes ALL Classes... even those with just one or two active boats.

By tradition, we us the USPN system. The current USPN system... fails the fairness for all test!... If you have brackets around your class... you can't play.... more importantly... the fairness of the rating, once you have removed the brackets is suspect as well.

The solution for qualifiers... is to simply decree that the qualifiers will use SHCRS or TEXEL, two widely used measurement rating systems. My reading of the Area Championship requirements would allow you to do this by simply declaring your pick of the handicap system in the NOR.

The F20 has a fair measurement rating right now and if Mike wins a qualifier... it will be because he sailed his new boat close to it's rating more often then the rest of the fleet sailed their boat to their rating. End of discussion.

My previous comments are simple attempts to patch up the old USPN system by plugging the holes and putting some duct tape over the BS. Personally, times have changed... I believe that we should move on and adopt SCHRS or TEXEL. (Where is Carl Roberts in this discussion giving me **** for changing my position)

All of this commotion and not a single additional participant on the entry list.

For all of those that have pre-registered, Tad has promised there will be no banana hammocks. Unfortunately, Brett and Trey have made no promises.

The network I'm on won't let me open the links. Not pre-registered, but I'll be there.

It's been a while since the participation list was updated. I let them know at the first part of the week I was coming but my name isn't on there. Expect more people than the list shows at the moment.

First peek of the boat on the trailer.

Only took two of us to lift and pin it in place.

they're actually bigger than they look in the photo. The graphic wrap he has on there distorts the optics a bit.

The sail is going to make you go into a trance when you see it :P
