Subject: Ditch Run Rule?

I Won't go with more than 3. I think the new downwind ratings are a good idea but are in need of development before implementation Will

:: From a recent email, regarding Delta Ditch and the new
:: down wind race ratings, SSC and RYC has discussed, but
:: no decision has been reached to date.
::
:: I agree with the message below, that we focus on
:: building our class.
::
:: We are planning on racing with 3 or 4 for the Ditch this
:: year.

:: :: I like doing the Ditch with 3 or 4 in the boat. Relief
:: :: helm and trim to rotate out of the sun. Any word if the
:: :: Ditch Run will use the downwind ratings? Steve Katzman
:: ::
:: :: :: I would like to float the idea of setting a minimum
:: :: :: headcount for the Ditch Run. I think this is great,
:: :: :: unique race that should be shared with as many people as
:: :: :: possible and seeing the boats with 2 people on board
:: :: :: while fun and challenging, is unfortunate for all of
:: :: :: those left behind.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I am not sure how the Express will stack up to an
:: :: :: overall win using the new downwind PHRF rating so we
:: :: :: should probably focus on building our class profile
:: :: :: instead of fighting the Moore and Melges for an overall
:: :: :: spot.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I think this would help build the class reputation as a
:: :: :: fun and inclusive group of sailors.
