Posts: 2,584 +31NL | We had one race today about 14:30, which was when the sea breeze came in and sailing conditions where pretty much perfect. Then some thunder showers came through and the RC sent us back to shore for the day. Was NOT expecting rain in Tuscany, thought I left that at home Not sure what to expect tomorrow, start times are variable. | | | Re: 2013 F18 Worlds

I'm boatless.

Posts: 3,969 | One race, finished 4th, scored 13th combined? Must be the new math...
Just kidding. With all of the ties, it actually is scored correctly and makes perfect sense. There are 12 teams with fewer points (and they are tied for 13th).
Of course, who can explain the 4th reported here vs. the 7th on the official results?
Other interesting things: one race, two DSQs and a redress...

Posts: 554 Boston, Ma | Looks like they split the fleet into four groups and are running two flights, just like in Long Beach last year. Likely an inner and outer trapezoid course- good fun. Some updates can be found on twitter @f18worlds2013, @f18worlds2014, @catsailingnews some updates on facebook as well: https://www.facebook.com/pages/F18-...00533926623510?notif_t=fbpage_fan_inviteLooks like Steve Stroebel and Matt Morris on USA 70 had a nice second race . Wish I was there!

Posts: 48 | Here is a link to the results after day 2: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B65JmcSKEFEJMmFWVGxUc2pTVHc/edit?pli=1Stroebel and Morris had a great day and have moved up big time. We had incorrect info about Taylor and Matthew's finish in the first race on day 1 -- they were 7, not 4. After day 2, they are in 9th overall. @Karl - yes, Matthew has a huge gash on his knee from stuffing the bow on a training day. It has got to be killing him, but he is obviously one tough kid and hasn't let it slow him down. | | | Re: 2013 F18 Worlds

My guess is that is a mistake in the scoring. Hugh Styles and Richard Mason on a Phantom won one flight, a C2 won the other flight.
