KSC Racing Meeting Minutes

Racing is a week away!  In prep, some of the racers held a meeting at the club with the sailing director (Jake) and the ever-awesome Mario.

The end results of the discussion:

• we want sailing instructions to be a bit more formal -- closer to what you'd see at a real regatta
• we'll divide the season into 3 sets of 5 race nights -- we'll try the new instructions out, and can adjust them for the second series
• we'll "draw" boats at the skipper meeting -- no more first come, first serve
• 1st race warning time of 5:45
• we'll sail with the cats and 29ers on the same course, albeit  with different starts
• for the 2nd and 3rd series, the plan is to have the cats and skiffs sail a longer windward/leeward course, but...
• scoring: now no difference between skipper and crew scoring

All in all, I think the changes are good.   I'm mostly looking forward to a fixed start time, and getting more races in.
