<p class="MsoNormal">HI everyone,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with targeting an hour race with a few exceptions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a general rule, the race committee staff target 50-60 minutes for the fleets. Understand that’s a target. Sometime you miss the target.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exceptions to this rule can be the M series in the bay, especially as we get later in the season and the sunset is earlier and earlier. Especially when the breeze is light.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the worst things to happen is when a longer race is set and the breeze dies and sunset Time Limit Expires most of the fleet.</p>

<div>This meeans 60 minutes should be the goal, weather permitting. Reasonably shorten (I agree that 30 minutes isn't reasonable) or abandon to keep the quality (e.g. 1 or more legs are reaches).</div>

Hey Sonar Fleet 5
<div>How many of you would prefer more laps to our M series racing. As for me, I would like the race to last longer than the 30-40 minutes of racing we often have with the RW 2 1/2. Of course a longer course would mean more traffic messes to deal with. I believe
the race committee might have other reasons for not giving us a longer course. Perhaps toward the end of the M series, loss of daylight becomes more of a factor. But ...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should we, shall we. request a typically longer M series course???</div>
<div>Please state your preference.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Marty Fossen<br>
