Author: Chris Gage Subject: Schedule Info: (10207 views) Posted: Saturday 1-9-16 02:17:29 PM |
In 2004, DHF, Lightship, Spinnaker Cup and Coastal cup were well attended events on the E27 schedule; gone are the good old days
The LDS intent is and should be to cultivate participation in unique and less popular events that are not normally on the schedule. The schedule should change from year to year with input from boat owners.
Instead the schedule has become standardized with 3BF, YRA Party Circuit and e27 Nationals the primary events. Other regattas like 2015’s Crewed Lightship have no weight in the series and the proposed schedule is no different for this year.
It’s not about winning a series but acknowledging these other events while the highly competitive races are reserved for the season championship.
Congrats to El Raton for winning the 2015 LDS!

:: Sure I will post up what i have so far. Yes the

:: distance series. Yes it ends up having a big weight, as
:: does 3BF. I understand your position. But, this is kind
:: of the point, to win the season you have to do well in
:: the highly competitive races and also do enough of the
:: other races to qualify. I work pretty hard to make sure
:: that you can not win if you only do one or the other.

:: :: Thanks for you hard work.
