I've been working on new features for the Y&Y website, and it would be great if people could give them a try - obviously I'm trying to build the number of people up, but there are benefits for you, and the class as a whole!

One of the main things I envisaged was using the comment system to discuss what happened at an open meeting. Y&Y publish the reports we send in, but you can now click 'discuss' and add your own thoughts on what tactics worked, why you didn’t win, who did something silly, what happened at the party afterwards....

I know we sometimes use the forum for that, but looking back I notice it doesn't happen as often as I thought....plus, using Y&Y means we get higher visibility and can give a hint to the world about how great our class racing is! 

I'd love to see people discussing tactics relating to the venue or wind on the day - it would give us lesser mortals the chance to learn so much. Don't be afraid to put your views forward...and please be gentle when pointing out the terrible errors of others!!!

Thanks very much.
