Subject: Reply to Steve on nixing 1:3 spring ocean
Info: (12657 views) Posted: Tuesday 10-13-09 05:38:38 PM

Hi Steve:

I too thought about nixing crewed Light Ship due to YRA cost, 2 weeks seperation created between dbh'd LS and dbh'd Farallons. Those two reasons in my view are all good reasons to pull crewed Light Ship from the Fun series schedule.

But I'm going to chose to nix doubleghanded Farallons, because doublehanded LS followed by crewed LightShip one week can be an easier time (or fewer hours) on the course.

I also think crew Light Ship is a strategic race for the classes visibility. Especailly witht he StFYC gathering afterwards.

On the flip side that the combination of dbh'd LS, crew LS, might attract some on the fringes who want to ocean race but only do only once in a while. Or, just wabnt something simpler and more Fun then dbh'd Farallons.

I have no problem with dbh'd Farallons if others feel differently in choosing two out of three ocean races for Spring Season Start UP; but feel dbh'd LS followed by crew LightShip are just easier to do time wise.

So who out there in express land can chime on for a third, fourth and fifth input? Thanks, Mike
