[AIS] Re: Bayfield Raceweek Race Areas

[Mike Spence]

Jonathan bring up a good point for the "smaller boats", and I agree we
should consider a shorter course for the boats over PHRF of 130 + or -, but
we need to keep the regular AIS boats sailing the same course to allow us
to count Race Week as our Summer Series.

I have recommended be form 3 groups (A = 3 - 60, B = 60 to 90, C = 90 to
120) and then start the C fleet first.  This will allow the AIS group to
sail the same course and for Chewy not to wait so long for Freedom and Red
Hawk to finish.  I would guess the remaining boats will be in either the D
fleet or their own one design fleet.

>From the peanut gallery.

The time limit should be set at a 5 knot average for the first boat over
the
distance of the race.  Because it is going to take the slower boats quite a
bit longer or are you planning on having different course for the B and C
classes.  I know several people who are planning on coming the race week
with J-22s and J-24s and we will want them to come back.  I would recommend
a shorter course for the slower boats.

Thanks

John,
Would we still do the typical starting sequence?  It might also be good to
consider an earlier start similar to the off-shore series (Warning at 9:50
and Start at 10).  We will need to be clear about the time limit for the
race (12, 16, or 24 hours).  Personnal I think it good to try the true
medium distance format again, let's hope the wind blows.

The sponsors of the Cat Island Chase have requested that if the weather
conditions permit (enough wind for everyone to get home before the next
race
starts Wednesdy AM), they would like to see the race run around Cat Island
as it had been.
