    Thats the date that the credit company sets. The alternative is to refund each entry individually in which case the club loses $1000+ in credit card commission on top of the thousands the club is going to haemorrhage over this. And I have to spend hours setting up internet banking payments for over 100 boats. 

    Thanks for the explanation

    I was on that townson. Was a long slow race but we worked pretty hard. It suited us in the end. Iirc the race started Thursday, and prize giving was scheduled for the Sunday night. But at the appointed time I think only Vodafone was finished - the rest of us were still out there. 

    We held discussions on board OF about when the iron headsail was to be deployed so crew could make it to work in the morning (Monday morning).  “We retire at 1am”... luckily the wind arrived at midnight, the kite went up and we sailed on, claimed monohull line honours and had rum for breakfast.

  3. This story was told to me about 40 years ago about a Cherub at the Australian Nationals

    At the end of each days sailing, the results would be announced back at the club.

    ”First, Boat XYZ.... second, Boat ZYX.... Third, PORK HUNT”

    They had to change the name of the boat after day two.

    Damn good work by crew to drop and lash main down in under a minute.

    Main looks to be up when refloated

  5. Back in the day when I was lighter/smaller/with body parts that moved freely, the association in Australia had a mould that did the rounds of backyard builders.

    Great boats, except for #2079... too heavy, too slow, blown out sails

    If someone has a question and km.wheels answer and then original poster replies.The conversation can still continue after 5 posts by pm each other??

     

    That defeats the purpose of a forum

    I best say goodbye then, my brain tends to bounce ideas around, if I didn’t post them immediately then they are lost forever

    This receives a down vote from rehab... Why?

    Then the restriction will also be good for training people to ask clear, concise, well contructed questions, and for others to give clear, complete considered responses.

    Kinda like a bag limit, but different.

    Disagree. They can be attended too the following day.

    It's very unlikely a member would have more than the the sum off restrictions imposed during any two day period.

    Members like knotme and wheels often have very good advice and they will then answer questions and add another post as they have remembered something
     

    If they have to wait 24 hours to post, will they remember to do so?

  10. Five posts...that could restrict discussion to the detriment of the site.

    Thinking of threads where help is asked for, thanks are given, questions raised and answered... That would quickly use up 5 posts.

    Restricting posts to a number of threads per day might be a better solution.

    One down, four to go

    RM, theres a like for ya!  Crew is not exactly the most cheerful friendly BB around so dont worry about it 

    Thanks

    Funny times we are in, it seems some are struggling with lock down more than others.

    As an infrequent poster here I am surprised I am interesting enough to have a follower. One guess who that might be....
