[J22-Fleet 1] Fwd: Fw: [Fleets] Adding a Random Course Fleet On the Thursday Nights When We Have Bumper Boats in Wayzata Bay

[Michael Bowers]

If you read below, Bert has a concept for an alternative to the bay
series.  Would more of you come out to sail on Thursdays at the end of the
season if this type of alternative choose were offered?

Personally, I'd rather keep all of us (j22) together on one starting line.
But if some of the phrf boats wanted to vacate the bay, that might leave
more room for us;)

Hi All,



I attended the S2 7.9 fleet meeting where it was suggested that we insert
an Optional Random Course Fleet Race for those who do not want to sail
bumper boats in the Bay.  All boats, handicap-scored. All PHRF. Single
start. Random course. The idea is to get participation from those who don't
normally do the W/L racing in the Bay, due to such crowded courses.



The start and finish could be south of spirit island (to stay out of the
channel), or partway up the Northhome shore. We would not sail around big
island due to the milfoil this time of year and to keep the race fairly
short due to sunset. Therefore, one or 2 boys could be placed various spots
on the Lake and the finish would be where you started so that you could
easily get to the WYC before sunset.





What do you think?



Regards,



Bert
