Joe, Welcome to Victoria's! It a fun boat & as Bob said skipper improvements out distance note engineering tweaks. Tiller time results are 3/1 over most boat...
Tiller time is very important but one thing that gets overlooked when getting acclimated to model boats is getting your own head out of your boat. It seems to...
It takes a lot of tiller time to get comfortable enough to get your head out of the boat and still go fast. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
I think it depends on how my boat is performing. If the boat is balanced and sailing fast, I spend the majority, 75%, of the time looking at the course and...
Thanks Geoff. I always knew you fast guys had your head out of the boat, but I never realized that much!! I agree with you that when the boat is dialed it...
Jim, You are absolutely correct! That "width" of vision is not easy to develop either. Also very easy to loose and forget to pick it back up! Our club has...
Brig and/or Charles, Would either of you be so kind as to send me a copy of the White Rock NOR and registration form? I am having difficulty accessing the...
Pete, I will be glad to attach the NOR and Registration form for the 2007 edition of the White Rock Cup X. However, what you are looking for is in the files...
Victoria Skippers The Rankings are cast in concrete for another year, and of course can be viewed on the VRC. Thanks to all of you that sent me corrections...
OK what is the procedure if there is an error, a big one, in the results posted? Why is it cast in concrete if this is the first time we can see what regattas...
Brian, Thanks for putting the new program together for the rankings. You obviously listened to the suggestions of the majority of the members, and for that I...
Ralph, Actually there are a few of fluorescent (bulb) lights around the house... about 15 feet fr om where the boat was standing, and they were on, I think. I...
... Brian, Thank you for all of your hard work. I very much like the revised results, but I am not in favor of having a bonus for 2008 based on the quantity...
We are 6 weeks away! Yesterday it hit 70 degrees and was sunny and very windy in Dallas. Charles should be in Austin now will be updating WRC registration upon...
Jim, Your point in good in theory; however, I think it would be impractical to implement as 1) where would the starting point be for the determination of the...
Eric, Here is the IOM ranking system in summary. It may be more fitting with what you intend. Nationals -- 200 points Regionals -- 125 points Annual -- 100...
Brig has it correct. Too bad you can't add points based on attendance of ranked members as a bonus. Say 5 points for every Top Ten skipper in attendance. That...
Charlie, Is that a rhetorical question? Of course you're invited!! We would love anyone involved in sailing Victorias to join our regatta. Most especially a...
Brig and Charlie, et al, Just want to clear up the fact that anyone participating in the White Rock Cup or any AMYA green chevron regatta must be a member of...
Charlie may be too polite to point it out but formerly being from Texas but now back to being a Canadian I should point out that Charlie is the Class Secretary...
Charlie, Hope you do make it! Brig thinks I'm a Yankee & I work in Plano TX..... (near McKinney)! Just be careful hanging with the Oklahoma crowd. They do...
Charlie Just make sure you stop at the duty free on your way over thru the border. I have found from my experiences that the American guys love the Canadian...
Charlie, While in the duty free - purchase a 3-pack of Cap'n Morgan's Rum for the Texas pirates. Once they finish those beauties they'll be "all over" the race...
Hew, I am not the keeper of the registrations, but I am sure that there are spots open. Charles travels extensively, so he will give us all an update when he...
With Hew winning last year's Alamo Classic and this year's Frostbite he is on a roll. Of course we want him here. All this talk about weighted regattas we want...
