I just hope nobody takes this very seriously, I sure don't. They asked
me to use my boat as the committee boat. Does that mean I'm s'posed to
make margaritas for the race committee? I dont have a blender aboard.

About 10 yrs ago, I was asked to write up some handicap rules for an
April 1st race. So, they went sailing and when they came back my rules
were applied. I vaguely remember:

1. Wearing of any yachty attire -10 pts
2. Paid your fed user fee (later repealed) and have said sticker on
boat -9
3. Anybody wearing deck shoes -2pts/pair +10 pts if an odd number.
and any other BS I could think of.

The racers were so angry they wouldnt talk to me even though I was
ASKED to write screwball rules. Probably the only reason I was asked
to be on the committee now is that all the people in that fiasco have
moved on.

You may have to act as the start & finish line. The clubs here have
some fixed object as one point and the race committee boat as the other.
between them is 'the line'. You'll have to raise flags, shoot off
start gun etc.
