will be how often are we going to use the Trap course…..every week, only

behind the ensigns…which is not good for either fleet. </span></font></p>

We are trying to make it lest congested by using the Trapezoid courses and
maybe changing the order of the start and the courses, left or right, fleets
sail.<br>

The plan below came up last night in a discussion I had with assistant RC

The plan here is: </span></font></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'> to start the fleets generally in the order
of upwind speed so a later starting fleet doesn't catch an earlier
starting fleet at the 1st windward mark, as has been happening in some
cases now. </span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>sail most of the 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. </span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>these fleets are 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. </span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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. </span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>By having the 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. </span></font></li>
<li class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>By having the 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. </span></font></li>
</ul>

Hi All,<br>
Enough of you responded that Friday is the best time. If you can't make
it, send someone who is experienced in your fleet as your representative.
One one person per fleet plus the RC of Bert, Blake, Jared, and Fred.<br>
<br>
I will provide beverages. MB, maybe bring a bottle of wine you
like. I have some but you may not like it, as I don't know wine.<br>
