You don't need a formal B fleet. Everyone is welcome, just get a boat and show up. If we get 100 boats, there would probably need to be a split fleet. Even without that, the cream rises to the top and by Day 2, it's obvious which of us are just there for the party...

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to be that twerp who flips at the line in front of the rock stars...
Is it just me, or the more rock stars there are in the que, the earlier everyone creeps up to the line at the prep flag?
Which leaves the hot-shots hunting each other through a veritable parking lot of boats all flogging and bobbing up the line...

The Coast Guard refers to them as Rescue Swimmers. At a cat regatta, their job is to get off of the rescue boat and assist a distressed boat as needed. Duties may include righting a boat, sailing it, etc. Worst case, you may be cutting someone out from under a tramp or out of rigging. Knowledge of cats, first aid and CPR are essential.
Sounds like this should be an important element of our MHRC safety guidelines...

I'm not sure why that's a situation that a jumper is needed (unless there is someone trapped under the trampoline...which doesn't appear to be the case here).
