We had 21 boats out in very light, shifty wind. All classes had shortened courses and limped across the finish line. Back at PMYC the grill your own steak night was very well attended and a good time was had by all. The series competitions have been very close this year, in the B fleet each of the top 4 boats in the series are separated by 1 point per position, and we again had tie breaker results in the A fleet (a 2 way tie rather than three way tie as in the last series). The competition could not be closer out there, the ratings adjustment system seems to be bringing as many boats as possible into the mix.
I want to invite some boats to move from the B fleet to the A fleet in the next series. If I have any volunteers please let me know. The faster boats from the B fleet should consider moving up to A where the handicap adjustments are less and the ratings reset to base each series (this benefits boats that are more likely to perform well in comparison to their base handicap). If you are competing for the overall season trophy it would be best not to change classes, but if that is not in the cards for you this season for whatever reason such as not showing up for all the races, I would like to fill out the A fleet a bit.
There is a change from the provisional results to the final results, unfortunately I made a mistake in the calculations of the race in that I had left the default setting of strong wind, and when I put in the correct entry of calm wind there was a change in the order of the B fleet results. After correcting the wind setting, Sundance finished one place higher in the race, which made them the second place winner for the series rather than in a tie breaker with Mea Ono. None of the other results were changed as far as finishing positions, the times will be slightly different.
I will work on the SI for the next series in the next day or two and get them posted, so keep an eye out.
