basically it sounds like they are doing something similar to what nascar does with its "chase" last 10 ten races only the top 12 drivers can compete for the...
Why the "freeze"? R.C.Greer IV To: SolingOneMeter@yahoogroups.com From: lifeform23@... Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 04:05:49 +0000 Subject: [Soling One Meter]...
I am the regatta chairman, and Commodore of our local Fleet of 15 S1M's. This is our first regatta (although I have run many Regionals, and National...
At club level splitting a fleet up into an A and B fleet is a great idea, especially when the club (fleet) has grown to the extent that you have 12+ boats on...
A Nationals IS a differeent deal, I agree. The "Ohio Regatta" is a fun regatta for those who want to come to a beautiful place, in Ohio wine country, and sail...
David A: As usual you give us a well thought out and compelling argument, this time concerning the merit's of promotion/relegation vs Odd/Even. I cannot argue...
I have sailed P/R at last years soling nats and I sailed odd/even @ the footy NCR this year. I feel that that in either case you need a lot of support staff to...
Quoted-------------- A National event should be the best of the best, sailing for the ultimate crown.......National Champion. In other words the best skipper,...
What is a Soling? The class is supposed to be for fun, and racing a Soling is supposed to be a casual, fun activity. If we ever start to think of ourselves...
The Snipes (2 man racing craft, old school big boats) have a runner up (B fleet) series at Districts AND Nationals every year. The top 24 after qualifications...
Mike: Thanks for your very comprehensive recommendations on how to get a Soling Fleet going in a new area. All of them were excellent. I served for several...
Why don't you look into Orgsites.com? They host websites for free, and have very good templates, with instructions on how to set your site up. I could also...
I was recently given a Victor Tahoe 600 unassembled in the box. Is this a viable boat to race in any class? It looks to best resemble the Soling 1M which is...
The Tahoe was a kit that Victor offered, and no longer has. It was 36" LOA lighter, and had a wider beam than a Soling 1 Meter. Sail area was 600 sq. in....
Skippers; Commodores; Presidents: We all know that in order to sail a course effectively we're going to have to follow the boats along the shore. We gotta...
Dayton group has that. They set "boundaries", no one permitted past certain points. Tree, trash barrel, side walk, whatever. About a 40 foot square. So NO ONE...
We sail our MicroMagics from our seats in a "control zone".about 30 feet long. You must sit,you must have a beverage and the race is viewable for everyone.Pick...
As I'm sure most of you know, a control zone is required by Appendix E of the Racing Rules of Sailing. Of course, you can always define it as the entire pond...
I think the whole walking thing is overdone anyway. We were forced to sail from a fixed location just last raceday, and for the first time. Everybody did...
There is a message at the Ohio RC Yachting Yahoo Group asking about whether or not we should pursue a traveling regatta series for 2010. Also- a question about...
... ROB- Thanks for the response. I'm saving all of the responses/suggestions which I'll present to our members. Palm Beach Model Yacht Squadron does what...
... ================== Earl- I'm one of those who didn't know anything regarding the Control Zone. It's just never come up in my local Club experience. I...
I (or somebody else :-)) can ask Lester Gilbert about the rationale. I'll be on travel the next few days and away from my main computer. I used to not like the...
... Thanks for the replies and info. I am going to build her and sail her to see if this is something I wish to add to the long list of hobbies. My 9 yr old...
"...on the real sailboat as well." Whoa!! You will find we model yachtsman think of our boats as "real", too!! We prefer the term "full-scale", or "people...
just because you don't have a local club that sails that boat, doesn't mean that you can't go out and enjoy fun-day sailing with them. I wish my daughter would...
