So any mix fleet trailer sailer or sports boat racing should just be all for shits and giggles??? One of the biggest races/regattas in Australia runs CBH and a regatta performance handicap. Must be just for shits and giggles as its not OD. 🤣 The numbers of that race (which is the Bay to Bay...
At the end of the day the base line for a sports boat in Australia is Australian sailing special regulations for a minimum of cat 5. This is also in the Asba constitution and ABRW which is one of the highest cat rated races we do. If you go to the Aus Sailing resources website you will find...
The old asba LTP had to have the asba committee give a new boat the fleet a starting LTP. Then the results and top yacht system sorted it from there.
When a new boat or a boat with no TY data come to race, the asba committee would discuss and have a look at any of the results that we come find...
Hey JB
Yeh no worries. Just thought I would let you know (if you or others didn't) the background of what was already there and voted it those years ago. Might of saved some work to get that happening again if it was a similar idea to what is being investigated now.
It will be interesting to see...
I admit some tfc numbers are still out there.... but the boats that were starting to race consistently were getting some really good racing in using the system. Most of the boats on that list other than maybe 10 had good enough data to make it work and fair.
We even had the system change the...
Hey Jb
It was really easy to maintain and run. After each regatta I advised top yacht that the system was ready to be updated. They used thier results system to complete this. Any boat with any more "known result data" got updated.
Ie after the nationals regatta in Brisbane the new committee...
Not all people have what's app and they were not invited. Also I have heard the inconvenience of your phone getting notifications all day from people talking about irrelevant topics can also be distracting.
Just out of interest. What's the change and chat? Years ago top yacht was approached and...
Hey JB
Just a note on your sticker idea.
The ASBA AGM of 2020 brought this up and it was voted on as it's a good idea and will help to keep people honest. The 2020 2021 ASBA committee set out with help and advice from YRSA (they even signed off of final design) and got 4 different sail stickers...
Hey JB
Your right, we all just need to go sailing and have a good week at Airlie and anywhere else we may end up.
My POV is, I don't mind anyone sailing in the divisions. SMS, CBH, ORC or what ever. As long as they comply with the appropriate rules.
The more people in the fleet the better...
Andrew. Simple question. If you think Asba and Sms is not in crisis then why was there only 4 boats left in the Asba constituted SMS division at Airlie and 15 or 16 others in the Trailable Yacht division racing under CBH??? Why were those 4 boats asked to reconsider the division that there were...
