HUH!!! Anyone know more?Holy crap. Not good.Someone was just shot and killed in front of the Cyprus House. We are worried that it might be a sailor. The police are interviewing a bunch of Annapolis sailors.
I am the one instructing the driver of our chartered fishing boat on where to put the thing. The driver is a fishing guy and knows absolutely nothing about sailing. I have to tell him everything. Yesterday was totally flawless. Today during some confusion and loss of contact via radio with RC combine with my lack of reading the SI's for the division, I put the boat in a bad spot. I take total blame for this one and I'm sorry to the 3 boats that might have had a slight wind shadow for a very very short time. It will not happen again. Any of you do have a problem with where the OTW Anarchy boat is, come to me. I'll buy ya a drink at the tent.Just got emailed some more drama:
Alan,
As of Tuesday, I have received 5 complaints regarding the actions of your
chartered boat Relentless. While some of the maneuvering appears to breach
common courtesy between photo/video boats and poor seamanship, the most
recent actions on Division 2 could have impacted the racing. This is
unacceptable. Not adhering to race officials instructions and making obscene
gestures cannot be tolerated. It can result in a safety issue and could
impact the racing.
I ask for your assurance that your boat operator will adhere to the
direction of any race committee personnel on the water going forward.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation,
Peter

Don't tell Pytlak that he's doing a great job, his head is already bigger than his body. :lol:No sailor killed. Two Annapolis sailors found a recently deceased body just off Caroline street near the Cyprus. They were questioned and released. Sorry for any anxiety, will get more info if possible.
And by the way pytlak, you're doing a great job.

Underestimate? The boats rating went from 123 to 135 in an appeal. The guy was cheating taking a 6 sec roller furler credit and not using the roller furler but tacking the full size genoa to the deck and directly to the halyard. the boat is rated for the short rig but has the tall rig booms on it. Did alot of research on the boat while down there and we think he pulled a fast one one the PHRF cortsortuim which doesn't surprise me.Getting beat by an O'Day 40 twice yesterday makes me think they've got other problems.With the breeze out of the NE, this Division is the only one that's out of the lee of KW. Little boats get big waves today...20 knots solid, 3-5 foot seas.
Seefest the J-29 should like that 20 knots and 3-5 ft waves is what he kicked my ass in at BBR last year.
People so underestimate that O'day 40. Dont knock it until you sailed it. Yes it is a pig but it has a great rating and it has wheels. It likes heavy air flat water or no air at all, in between not so good but can do well. I've been on that boat in Tampa Bay in a no air regatta racing in B class and passed all A class boats boat for boat who started 5 mins in front of us. MO has suprised many people.

Kinda like the balanced rudder he put on his J/29 a few years back and said he didn't know the boatyard did that?????
