Course Racing

[Sam]

Hey so I was planning on running an informal course racing series, very informal but for those of you who dont know course racing has been big in san fransisco and there are some other areas around the country so why not bring some of it to tampa. looking to just take a quick poll to see whos intrested. just planning to do 3 or 4 races about 15 min per race or less. long enough to be intresting but not to take up the whole day. I would keep all of the scores and tally up the overall results. mabye 3 different dates and try to give a few days notice. scoring format would be similar to sailing's low point scoring system (first is one point, second is two points...and add all of your total daily scores together and the winner has the least amount of points.) planning on having a start sequence on the water and courseswould be trapezoids or triangles. if theres decent wind this week I would be willing to put together a trial run later this weekto get the kinks worked. I would perfer to hold it on a flatwater spot like skyway but have acess to a boat so once everything is running smooth could hold one or two in the gulf to mix things up a bit. if theres enough intrest, I will organize the rest and put something together. let me know what you all think and post suggestions or any other comments. this would be free or if intrested bring a 6 pack and the top 3 from the day can divide it up accordingly.
