<div dir="ltr">I completely agree with all that's been said already, sailing in the Bay is fun and practice for big fleet management. <div><br></div><div>I like the new idea of tracking time during the Burton Cup. I believe the A and E boats already do that for a cup of their own. It won't be perfectly fair, as the first fleet probably starts about an hour before the last fleet and winds may increase or die down, but it would be cool to see the results and require minimal additional effort.</div>

One unique idea that did come up that I thought was pretty cool was to have one big <span>PHRF</span> race some time in the summer. We already have this in the Burton Cup, but we don't keep track of times for the 1 design classes. I see no reason why we couldn't track times and have an overall winner (<span>ala</span> the Chicago Mac). That might add a little more excitement to the event.</div>
