When Gerry Brittain and I were discussing the first Merlin Week one of the options we discarded might meet the current problem
If the fleet were sub-divided into six groups then 15 races are required in order that each group will meet each of the others once
. If three races per day are run the process will be completed in five days . For the sixth day the fleet would be divided into Gold, Silver and Bronze fleets based on the results of the first five days and the three races on the final day would complete the week .
More helms and crews from the middle of the fleet would be taking home prizes !!
See you there
