| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

:: The intent of the anti integration rule has always been
:: interpreted to disalow expensive electronic systems and
:: prevent another 'gotta-have-it-to-compete' arms race.
:: Thus it is a cost saving measure protecting the equality
:: of boats in the fleet. If the majority of the class
:: feels that this should be changed then we can vote on
:: it.
:: Many advances in technology were not forseen in our
:: class rules and I belive that an Interpretations section
:: should be added to the rules to clarify them to prevent
:: disputes in the future ASAP. I will write one and send
:: it out soon for coment.

:: :: It would be nice to clarify the intent of the
:: :: prohibition. All the actual rules say is 'Integrated
:: :: Electronics'. You assume it comes afoul of the rules if
:: :: it's hooked up to a GPS. I always figured it meant you
:: :: couldn't have compass and wind data correlating with
:: :: speed data to give you stuff like true wind direction,
:: :: VMG data, etc. None of this stuff is particularly
:: :: expensive nowdays.

:: :: While I wouldn't find this overabundance of data too
:: :: useful on my Express, it would make sense to clearly
:: :: state what is and isn't allowed.

:: :: :: But that is just my take on the way the rules are
:: :: :: written.
