Looks like twenty - two knots on Biscayne Bay this morning with much of the same in the forecast for the rest of the week.

This series will be a true test of boats, sails, and sailors alike.

Sarah and JC rock another bullet. Anyone know what the 10% penalty on USA 38 is about?

Are there Olympic wind rules? Are they in effect for Miami?

To answer some of the questions above:

1 throwout after 2 races per SIs.

The are sailing in the bay, course Echo. There is a chart in the SIs if you want to calculate the distance from their launch site to their course circle.

I couldn't find anything about the RET.

There is a protest schedule listing the DPI as a result of a protest lodged by RC. No other details, but no shortage of possibilities based on NOR and SIs.

Edit: The ISAF race management policy document is also posted on the notice board. They cannot start in winds over 25 knots (5-minute average), but will not abandon if the wind goes higher unless they determine it to be unsafe. There is a lot of interesting stuff in there, including the fact that if the RC determines that they missed an OCS boat, the race cannot continue. This is in direct conflict with what I have been taught by multiple IROs, FWIW...

A pecking order perhaps for this wind condition.

Let it go single trap and things will probably change.

Will be interesting to see which combination works best regarding male or female crew.
Can girls do all the physical stuff just as well as the guys? (sheeting, hoisting/dousing the spin, etc).

I think it depends on the team. Sarah Lihan (sailing with Taylor) is super fit having done Radial and 470 campaigns. She is also over 6 feet tall... I wouldn't put anything past her!

Are they racing again today?

Supposed to get sporty about noon as the front approaches.

KMIA forecast winds are 130 at 17G23.

Yes - results for race 5 are up...

edit: I got one side of the story on the 10% penalty, and I'm trying to get the other. Sounds pretty damn Mickey Mouse so far... the RC from another course protested a N17 for passing too close to their race circle... and the protest was upheld.

Not that gem again...

What circle? PM me if needed.

BTW, why did Enrique's score change to RET for Race 4?
