Yeah, I'd love a new tiller extension, but I'll have to go to the beach to get it, so, did you bring enough for everyone? So, if I (or anyone else) breaks something out there, can we sail over to any coach boat and get it fixed?


I've been racing sailboats for about 35 years now, and I was an Opti Instructor about 15 years ago. I just don't want to see this regatta devolve into one of those regattas. So stay off the course, and out of the starting area, and we'll be fine...I hope.

Timbo,

do you think you will really be that far away from the yutes? Maybe right at "A" or "C", but I can't imagine the fleet's going to be more spread out than usual on the course..

I would venture a guess that most beachcat parents might understand the nature of these races and stay out of the way (but I could be wrong..)

Maybe what COULD be an issue is the 18 and 16 sharing the same course with a 5 minute separation. That would put close to 40 boats on the course at the same time. Yeehaw!
