Got it. 0.9183. 10 days, that's OK, $100, nbd!

Still waiting for my CBH, paid my money, but no paper yet. What do you know that I don't??

I actually think it's pretty simple. Either you accept a per-determined Class CBH - or You get it measured. I simply looked up AS list of measure-er(s), pick one, and he came down and it took about 3 hrs. Yes there is a fee to pay, but for 3 hrs of work, and then probably another 2 hrs...

TS, very very happy to leave all that shite to you to mull over. I just want to go sailing and drink red-wine with mates. Sailing in non-affiliated events is not just a real option, but is happening most of the time But, if all of us joined the association, and voted for change, then change...

TS if "we" as an association chose to stay with SMS then all that happens is "we" as people who sail the boats will go sailing in non ASBA events as is presently happening. I don't see this as a make or break decision for me, I will still do PL & B-B & AB & Super30 etc. So will a lot of you...

Well that's a plus, publishing the results, well done Mike and the Committee. GT commented that I need to join the assoc, so I have just done so. Least I can do! Boat is not going to hit the water until 2nd week in Nov, 10 days in Europe, sister's wake, all making the delay inevitable...

Guys, it's happening, as in the ASBA is looking at changes. If your interested there is a survey you should go fill in. jB

I promised I would come back to you post a conversation with Peter. A few of you contact me not only to find out what was happening, but also to warn me off. People within the industry try and warn me off sportsboats and that did not work, so warning me off LTPHS was probably futile. Anyway, I...

I believe that Peter/Tony will throw the old concept of a benchmark boat out the window. Instead, come up with Nm(or M) / hour (could me m/sec) concept. We had a super brief conversation about that, but if you do that, then the reason for using existing events is verification your not bending...

Punisher, yes I forgot the "them", sorry. Great movie, up there with Hunt for Red October. TS, getting personnel won't get us to where we want to get to, and I was not affected so I have no idea, but that's good in a way because I can do this without baggage.

TS, the big advantage of a LPHS system is it handicaps based on actual performance, so it's a empirical measure. Were as CBH, SMS, AMS, ORC & IRC all take a bunch of measurements and hope theoretically to deduce a boats performance. That is it's fundamental flaw. The big change is now we have...

Very small correction to my previous post. WRT the 49er we also plaque spreaders And WRT my list, I did not include the 2 mast 1/2ves or the spreaders, so it would be 15 plaques. I will let you do the maths. And, the advantage of having a been-counter on your boat. This is what happened...

Hi Jamie, in answer to your "Just out of interest. What's the change and chat?" When I speak of reading tea-leaves, that's just me looking at things like the lack of interest in the SMS division at Airlie and the quite considerable interest in Trailables, obviously I was not sailing SB in Port...

Hi Jamie, I'm being urged to push on, both by SB sailors and the guys on this boat in Hammo. You have Peter who is the pure-math guy, you have Tony who is a medical scientist, plus another 3 who are equally "left field thinkers", I asked them to think outside the box, which is what they are...

I did not know that, maybe what we need to do is resurrect it. More than happy to do nothing. I don't need the gig! So who's got access and who's going to do this? jB

Hi Guys, this conversation re LongPHS is progressing, so what forum do people want to do this on. Presently we are spreader over fB and WhatsApp, be better to do this all in one place? Going fwd, WhatsApp is probably the best option. jB

I'm back in Sydney, had a great time in Airlie. We ended up 4th on PHRS, we don't have a CBH so no idea. Winning the first 2 races (on corrected) is pretty dumb, but from our POV, winning anything in a 1300kgs boat was "un-expected". Congrats to Vivace and Skeeter who shared 1st and 2nd...

I have a lot of people asking me to champion this. They appear to have "mis-guided" faith in me! And if we get it back on track it means a lot more fun!

Hi T8, look forward to buying you a rum in Airlie. I like you have no skin in the SMS. But the tea-leaves suggest the SMS has lost the confidence of the masses, and there are numerous sets of Tea-Leaves suggesting that. Not for a moment suggesting it deserves such condemnation, I simply don't...

A 9er MCE plaque. Probably 3000 issued per year, very thin mylar, you try to remove them, they become void. Used on 49ers, 29ers, FX and a few other classes. The serial number is unique, so you just have to declare the number. jB
