Thanks Rick,

Just a question, will there be a link to the full results of the Tradewinds regatta ?

Wouter

Thanks Rick. Did you get the corrected scoring for the F18s? I think some of the standings may change after correcting the first race.

I am trying

Rick,
Great regatta! We had a blast, totally worth the 48ish hours of driving, we'll be there next year!
I'm sure it's already been brought to your attention that Olli and Kelly won the first race and if you change the scoring in that race Bret and I will be sure to agree.

Oh, come on! I want my bullet!

Maybe next year. I'll make sure my crew brings a drysuit. And that I rig the spin sheet OVER the jib downhaul.

/was 3rd in that first race until I found that out the hard way.

Rick and Roy, Thanks for the great story and pics!

Complete results are somewhere?

Can't find the results

There is a link to the results in the story.

Looks like they never corrected the scoring . . .

1 Plane Ticket to FL - $275
1 Car Rental for the Weekend - $75
2 Nights at Gilberts - $250
1 Boat Transport to/from FL - $400

Getting a scored a bullet in the first race (that you really didn't get): Priceless!

I hope they correct the scoring before they send it to Tracie. It might affect rankings for some of the people.

Matt, you should have corrected it on the beach.

If there were scoring errors, did anybody tell Linda Jo about them at the beach, so she could correct them?

Apparently not, so now somebody will have to contact Rick and explain what needs to be corrected, since the scoring is on his laptop.

Olli - I never saw the results on the beach - there were numerous people that told me that I had been scored a 1 in the first race. You even made the comment as you were going to pick up your trophy that you should have had 3 points, not 4. I had to leave immediately after the trophies.

I left with the impression that somebody else had already told Rick/Mary that there was a problem - it's even referenced earlier in this thread.

Even if you corrected my score to 10 (which is about where I think I finished), it would only drop me down 3 places overall - from 11 to 14. I know Tim doesn't care about F-18 points, and although I can't speak for Bill and Brian, I've got a pretty good feeling the tail end of that fleet really doesn't care about points either.

What's more troubling is the DNC that Mike and Karen Grisko got in the first race - I know they were in the hunt - were they OCS?

"If there were scoring errors, did anybody tell Linda Jo about them at the beach, so she could correct them?

LJ corrected it on Rick's sheet, but not on the computer.

Matt - The Grisko's were right in front of us. Remember we had separate start/finish lines. They finished on the starting line side of the RC boat and didn't unwind...hence the DNC. I immediately told Susie that we just moved up a spot!

That finish would have put them in second ahead of the two chuckleheads that tied for first loser. Tough break - the Griskos were going fast.

So glad I read the sailing instructions over a couple times... apparently Karen said she never saw anything about seperate start/ finish lines.

Check the results now. I think they are correct. Rick did not know about the errors. Earlier in this thread, when he said, "I am trying," he was referring to just getting the results posted, period.

The scoring printout that he used at awards did not have any corrections on it by LJ. Maybe she manually corrected the one she put on the bulletin board? But Rick would not have seen that one.

So we went back to the original score sheets used by the race committee on the water, and used those to correct the results in the computer.

Let us know if you see anything else wrong.
