[Sonar] Commodore Cup vs Star of the North

[J.R. (home)]

Bert,

There should still be a start for the Sonar's for the Commodore Cup.
Amity III has been very careful to not use member on board races to the extent of the boat not having the boat go out for races so that if need be Bill would have the opportunity to sail the Commodore Cup Races.

If fleet #5 later chooses in the 11th hour not to score it as part of the Commodore Cup races than I guess that is the fleets or clubs choice.  You referred to the Lonar Cup and ADA and I agree that we changed the rules .... both were done at a official fleet meeting at the beginning of the year not after the fact.

I believe there still should be a Sonar Start for the Commodore Cup.
It is a different race and It has always been part of the schedule.... 
I believe a option could be to combine the long distance race of the Star of the North and the Commodore Cup race into one counted race that would accommodate both purposes.

J.R.

  Hi All,

  There will be no Commodore Cup race for Sonars this Saturday.  

  The Sonar fleet will have one fewer Commodore Cup race.  If you are not in the Star of the North, but want to sail Saturday, send an email to the Sonar fleet.  There are some Sonar teams short for Saturday because they have Friday/Sunday crew from other fleets who want to sail the Commodore Cup in their own boat Saturday.

  Its like the Lonar Cup race.  When the fleet decided to hold the Lonar, that meant there was no Big Island race that day for full crewed Sonars.  When the fleet decided to sail the ADA in 2007 using Appendix B (no spinnakers), a boat couldn't go out with spinnaker and be scored.
