Thanks Alastair!
I confess, Jim, that as a Firefly sailor absolute speed has never been a concern! Cherubs, on the other hand...
All advice therefore welcome! Will we see you at any events this year?
sailing later in the year!
Somewhere this thread started about Rupert asking about race assistants at Roadford...I think.... I don't mind doing the computer bit again. (having just about worked it out last year with plenty of guidance from Stu.) Maybe I'll be abit quicker next time. It's such a lovely job! only takes several hours each day just when everyone else is eating/drinking and being merry. I expect Lois and I will be on the signing in desk again so can feed stuff straight in to computer.....One PLEA... If people can sail with sails that have the same sail number as the information they give it would help ENORMOUSLY as otherwise it's a nightmare giving you results because the infor is all linked by the sail number. (last year several boats didn't )
I was also thinking that to run 'Roadford' there are many fairly small jobs and many people happy to help. If we can link people to tasks beforehand it would ease the organising committee's life a lot. I'll do a breakdown of tasks and post a check list that hopefully we could fill in with names by August.
Re speed trials... great idea... judging by last year Clywedog would have been good for that too. I seem to remember going rather faster than I really wanted to (but not quite as fast as my mast was travelling!!)
