believe the new start sequence would be a real benefit to the Capri fleet and
should greatly reduce the interaction between our fleet and other fleet on the

the fleets generally in the order of upwind speed so a later starting fleet

been happening in some cases now. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT>

one-design fleets that are rigged pretty much the same (fractional rig, big
jibs in front and small jibs in back) on the left hand course. They will not
have a tendency to catch each other and the fastest S2 7.9 may not lap into
the Sonars as they have to make up 2 full legs and have a 9 minute head
start. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT>

generally less strung out than the others. Therefore, if we start them
with the fastest boats first, they won't be running over one another.

style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">moving the
Ensign after the Capri-25 means the Capri-25s won't have the problem running
over them on the first beat, particularly at the WW mark, as was a problem
for the J-22s. Note the Ensigns do not come out for Sunday, only
Thursday. Moving the Ensigns to star with PHRF I means 2 small
fleets and the PHRF Is can mostly sail away from the Ensigns right off the
start (as the Sonars have been doing) and the Ensign won't be run over by
the smaller MORC boats as they were by the J-22s. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT>

Capri-25s start in this new slot they won't be run over by the S2 7.9s and
they probably won't be running over many Sonars on the first beat.

Capri-25s start first of the right course boats, they will have clear
sailing for at least their first 2 legs, maybe more. By the time they
start to mix it up with the other right course boats, they will be well
strung out. As they do mix it up with the handicap boats they should
be able to quickly sail through them. Some of the handicaps boats will
also be on a triangle course out of their way.
