Guest Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If the problem is the split venue, why not Bucks one year, RNZYS the next? or include a few others, RAYC another year, then GHand Weiti(then you could sail in some clear water ) Would that attract more people? Link to post Share on other sites

Adrianp 120 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 In the past I've tried to get the piedys to do this. The problem seems to be most active piedy owners are pretty decent yachties and can often be found running front half of the most A & B division boats - hence they can't race their piedy or find crew. The other barrier for this event from a 'small boat' point of view is Eastern beach is a bloody long way to go. Maybe the smaller boats could race in the Bean rock/browns island area. What wasn't legal on the Y88 that made them drop out? Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 59 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 keeping to the facts, the wildcard entires were asked to compete 10 days after the regatta, being the Wednesday before the regatta and none were able to put crew together. At the time the person making the decision about the youth crew made it I believe they were unaware that the crew had cheated in the original regatta and wasn't told until it was to late. No problem with how the extras where included but the communications around it seem a bit shite Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Re the y88 and RaF I believe they'd forgotten to get their new sails measured prior to the regatta. Link to post Share on other sites
