Re: Poll Results for "Batterns - what should be allowed?"

Sorry Mike,
I disagree,Those that went to Perth  for Pacrim were given a real lesson among the middleweights by that man they call Bugs.Racing an older kart with one of  the original sails ever made, showed us,like young Hayden, what good sailors can do.Bugs would be middle to high on the weight scale for middleweights,and in races he would do voluntary 360s  and still blizs the field.His comments on battens,telltales ect, played little in his workshop discussions on sailing with the Blokarters there.Reading what is happening ahead with wind shifts,being smooth in tacks,keeping rolling speed up are more important to him.It  just showed me that all the fancy bits I have, wont make any dent in a good sailor.

Informal polls – I would think a minimum of 24 hours (maybe a little longer) for a full round the globe cycle would give everyone a quick shot at getting in.

Hayden doesn't need tell tales as he is about a half kilo from the entry level of his weight class. Even in Lasers "Light – is right" Interesting in the middlewight performance class at the NZ Open, the top three finishers, had three of the lightest pilots in the weight class on board.
I'm guessing Hayden was about 155 lbs or 70.45 K. I know Sean was about 162 lbs. or 73.6 K. good for third place. So if the second place pilot came in between (Hayden) 70.5 K and (Sean) 73.6 K. That would match the top three finishers in order with body weight lightest to heaviest. Hmmm . . . Pretty strong arguement for being the lightest in your weight class.

Food for thought,

MM
