Posts: 3,906 Clermont, FL, USA | Wow! Wait, who polishes their boat at a regatta ???
I've washed mine if it's just been pulled out after the winter, but polished???
I guess that's why they're Olympic contenders and we're not...
Good luck today!!!
Mike I knew a guy that didn't want his hulls touched at any time during a weekend regatta. Otherwise the skin oils would contaminate the go-fastery of the polished hulls. The mental discipline it would require to not mess with that guy would be off the chart!

Mendelblatts got the Q in the last race yesterday. Some interesting protests in other classes too: http://www.sailing.org/worldcup/protest-summary.phpMike While that reads as a clear port/stb violation, in other situations can the Stb boat still draw a foul if "hunting" the port boat?

It looks like Bora dropped out of the medal round... so it will be a battle between Bora and the medelabrats for the US slot at the clearwater worlds coming up. my theory about cat/skiff experience at a young age is looking tenuous.

Posts: 890 Dunedin Causeway, FL | There is a link to a YouTube page that says it will show live medal races on Saturday, January 30, with the Nacra 17 at 11:10 am. However, as of 9:00 am the page says "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Maybe that will change by 11:09 Live medal racing on YouTube Check out the links on this page at Sailing.org for tracking and mark roundings on Saturday. These pages look very cool! I hope they fill in the tables of mark roundings in real time. Tracking UPDATE: Too bad that the N17 does not show tracking for previous races. Look at what they CAN do by going to the Tracking page above, scroll down and click on "Miami 2016 3D Viewer", load their viewer, and pick one of the 470 races that had tracking turned on. Once you figure out the many screen choices you can watch the entire race, follow any boat, zoom in or out, pivot, see all the gaps, add lines, everything. The only thing I couldn't do is see why a leading boat is labeled DFL (probably due to an unlabeled DSQ).

Posts: 554 Boston, Ma | Saw the second half of the race live. Great way to kill off any interest in racing fast catamarans. Horrendous commentary (Jobson needs to be replaced... asking if they can furl the jib downwind... really?) and a schedule that put the 17s early in the day before a decent chance of a seabreeze. Really disappointing, but not surprising.
On the plus side, the video was ok.
