Wow, this is getting almost predictable. Any idea on the time deltas between finishers?

Seems to me that it would be tough to hold competitors accountable when RC's set up courses that have overlapping laylines.

I've got a 16yr. old daughter named Sara, I'm trying to talk her into driving for me...oh, and she weighs about 100lbs!

Perhaps the competitor should protest the RC who set their course right in his way?!

"I christen thee, the Flying Wasp!"

"Hey, you scratched my anchor!"

I think I'm going to rename my boat Sarah.

Beth's gonna be pissed when I start calling her Sarah!

The incident apparently occurred when Matt and Sarah were not racing - the circles are unlikely to overlap with the calibre of RC onsite, but the cats have to sail quite a distance at this venue to get to their circle. Someone felt infringed upon...

"Negative, Ghostrider. The pattern is full."

That's the quote of the week right there!

Edit: Although, if it makes you start winning races, she may not mind as much...

OK, that makes more sense.

Severity depends on time and location.

Pretty good article with links and photos regarding the mix multihull here.

Picture of the day
See it in High Res here.

I can hear it now....

(lawyer to Beth) " what was the first thing the decedent said to you?...."

"...when he regained consciousness..."

Looks like another 10% penalty was assessed yesterday... on a different team.

I think SN+JC have a good chance of winning this one...

Conditions are reported to be lighter and shifty today. Let's see if Mike Hill and Dave Ingram are right about a finish position reshuffle.

Look like CAN got the same, lame (IMO) penalty - www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_protest_schedule.php?regatta_id=5988

There is no shortage of DPI opportunities in the SIs, are you sure it was the same breach? If so, hard to say they didn't deserve it after being warned by the first one. If the IJ is being overly draconian, that should be reported.
