Topic : Y&Y Champs League Table

Mags, can you have a chat with Mark to get the correct attendance figure on the league table - 78 rather than the 76 that has been declared?

Y&Y only use the number of boats that actually raced - you'd be susprised how many class champs have an extra 5 boats at the bottom of the table with a row of DNSs. Mark (website editor) deems these as not really competing, which I think is fair enough, and all classes are judged to this rule.

Of course if that wasnt the case we can change the figure.

Mark Fuller arrived in Chambulls 3580 and broke something in the 1st race not a mast on this occasion.  As he could only do 5 of the days anyway and therefore had no discard as well as a waterlogged camp site he packed up and went home.  Hugh Barry 2563 drove all the way down from north of the border intending to compete in every race, launched on the 1st day but headed back to the beach rapidly once he realised the strength of the wind, probably did the same on Wednesday, then next tried on the Thursday, they sailed the crews race but there was no championship race held.  I saw the cover off the boat on Friday but he packed up early and left in the late afternoon.

Does that count?

It was the Spinaker Halyard, that was frayed and jammed.
