The raider?

 

How big are the sailors?

 

The Raider is a good boat for teaching... very stable and can be sailed/raced with 1 or 2. In a pinch I have had 3 adults on the boat but that's not optimal.

Some very tight racing!  Amazing how close the times were between 2nd and 5th or 6th in the races. Only thing I picked up on on your correction DK was you dropped 18 sec's off of 007's actual time in the first race.  I don't think this would have made any difference though.  Can't wait till we get to do it again at the Spring Dinghyfest.

Standings have been updated using Dave K corrections. It's a battle between Mikey and Art for first... Looking forward to Spring Dinghyfest!

Man, I must really suck. I guy in a Weta who is DNC in all three races thus far is ahead of me in the standings! Now that's some bad sailing.

 

It's not you... it's the special boats rule.... we have an unpublished rule for boats with training wheels: "in the current standings, to be placed ahead of a boat with training wheels, you must be at least 2 points lower in total score." :)

3rd place should be John, mike then Art... John had a 2 & 4, Mike had a 2 & 5, Art had 3 & 3...

 

I will use this corrected results set for the TCC website.

 

Hopefully I will be able to get to it tonight.

Well there were some minor mistakes made which when recalculated didn't really affect much. I changed BigD to a 76.1 and fixed Ortega's 1st place finish to last. Oddly enough, the only noticeable change was that I went from 5th to 6th overall :( and bumped Mikey up in front of me. There was a 3 way tie for 3rd but I just put Crumps in front since he finished last race better than Art and then better than Mike.

 

anyways, you can take a look at the pic and see.

I'm petty sure I can engineer a double trailer for y'all to haul those Raiders round.  Just don't use it near the salty coast.

 

 

We might take you up on that in the fall. The Kettle Cup in Florida in December is the big Raider event.  



And Big D, or mountain man as he now looks, told me that he's going to put broken glass in my knee pads to discourage me from kneeling so much, so if you see me on my knees say somethin. Oh that doesn't sound good now that I see it on paper, but y'all know what I mean!

 

How many times have you capsized to weather? That should be your goal, get out on that seat and capsize that bad boy to weather a few times.



Great meeting you and your club guys also!, all nice peeps, and a great facility! Sure you'll like rush creek, also a very nice club.Looking forward to seeing more of the other yellow boat soon! And lets quit showing off the bottom or side of ours!

 

you guys need to put sail numbers on the bottom of your hulls, that way I know which one of you is over.
