Cameron 76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 This is a rum race, so sails allowed are limited to Mains, Mizzens, sails designed tobe attached to the forestay, mizzen staysails, gollywobblers. I like this rule. Are there prizes for innovation ? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not absolutely sure but I think we have cracked 70 entries!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Mothership 6 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I get 72 at a quick glance. Not sure on time, and haven't even got a boat arranged, so have fun if I don't make it Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Bugger, knot going to make it. Bloody weather, slack boaters and concrete trucks. One truck took out our water main at 6.30 this morning. One took out the entire pipe at 7am last Friday morning. It's been an interesting week or 2 Now off to make sure one or 4 entries are ready this evening though. There's something really wrong about that Next year we are closing for Xmas on Nov 30th so all of those who finally decide to sort the problem, they have known about for 3-4 months, 2 days before Xmas can get .........

Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 what Time do we start? I entered. Dirty deeds Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 David, can you advise if you're using numbers? If so, will the numbers be actual time (ie, 45 for 17:45) or 0 for 17:45, 1 for 17:46, 2 for 17:47 and so on? Also presuming if you have numbers, boats start when their number goes up, as distinct from when it is taken down? 75 entries, updated list shortly. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I've been told the numbers are in the tower so we can use them, in which case we will display 40 at 1740, then 41, 42 etc,. There will be horns as well ( 5,4,1, go then every minute) 00 at 1800 then 01 etc.The only issue is I haven't physically checked they are there, should be OK. Did that make sense? Any queries?

Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Apart from Deeds , is anyone else entered and not have a start time? MArk - I assume you have seen Deeds post? Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Aw crap, if we're using numbers as well as flags I might have to take my shoes and socks off so I can count high enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 If the numbers are there we won't mess around with flags, Grinna needs a hand free to pour drinks. Rigger, I'm home now if you want to call back, I've lost your mobile number. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hey thanks for doing this. Not that anyone really gives a toss but maybe we should use that very cunning "non-spinnaker" filter on the racetrack h/c system next year? cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Final count 76. There are a few extra goodies and baubles on the tables at the YC, so be early. Remember if you aren't there to claim a prize it goes to someone else., And the Mount Gay Lady has been extremely generous. Link to post Share on other sites
