Winning the last
race seems to be important with racers for some reason.

Gee, I've been racing for quite a while and have never heard that.


Same here. I usually DNS the last race as my throwout if my finishing
positions in the others are sufficient to hold my place, or if a win
won't advance me in the standings.

What happened to the fun of sailing? Why miss a race? Let someone else
skipper, change jobs, do anything but sit on the dock. It's not about
winning, it's about sailing.


It's obvious you don't race.

Of course I do, but I don't quit.
Last four Swiftsures, last three Van-Isle 360s, Vic-Maui, round the
bouys at our club. Lots of races. I'm not a winner but I'm not a
quitter either. I'm a sailor and racing is a great excuse to get out
sailing in all conditions.
