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

[William Siemers]

I can see how referring to it as "bumper boats" might devalue the racing, but regardless of what we call it, I really enjoy the fast legs and multiple mark roundings involved with "bumper boats."  I think we should do it every Thursday.

>> Totally agree with Will, random courses for a one design fleet especially using PHRF scoring makes no sense. The Burton Cup and Commodore Cups fill that need.
>> And a reminder the J22 Districts coming Sept 27-28. The Main Lake, minimal power boat chop, less  milfoil and big courses with just our fleet. Plan now for getting our entire fleet on the line. If you are short crew, post a need on the J22 and J24 list serve early. You will no doubt get quality crew. John Dyer has awesome new trophies in the works.

In addition, the quick up and downs really make you focus on your boat handling.   My feeling on the distance racing is it often becomes a drag race  and there isn't much option to pass.

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.
