I'm not following this...

Ozone claims that in a Fund raising Race the combined points of fund raising
and placement decide the winner?

Robert is claiming a boat won a charity race despite not having any funds
raised based on placement only?

Having raced my full keel cruiser in many Fund Raising/Charity Races... it
has been my experience that both time and funds are calculated to determine
the winner. No Line Honours are awarded at Fund Raising Races to my
knowledge. We beat a 42 ft Frasier on the Abilities Cup Regatta despite the
fact they raised $1200 and crossed the finish line first... while we raised
$8000 and crossed the finish line in 6th place. My vessel was not
"sponsored"... the Frasier was "sponsored" by the local marine supply store
and they flew up racers from Vancouver to sail it. I just got a big donation
from the Diamond Mines when I placed their VP and HR director aboard my
vessel as crew. :-)

Have you noted that the winners of the Leukemia regatta are the
highest fund raisers?


In the case of that non-sponsored 35s5 (against sponsored boats) I
guess they just had a good boat and a crack crew. You still have no
point here that anyone can figure out. If you want to discredit the
event or the sailors, what can I say. Go to town if it makes you happy.
