Do they really call individual races 'heats'?
Somehow that's just the wrong word for a sailboat race. Maybe she should change it to "go 'round" or "race" or "round" or even "splash". Heat is for a car race but it doesn't seem to fit for a sailboat which is never hot. CN OzOne wrote in message ... I did, back then. And made amends by winning that same championship the next year with one heat to spare. ;-) On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 16:13:55 -0500, Capt.

I will till the day I die remember my mistake as a crew that cost us an Oz national champ, when we gybed in 25kt+ and I'd left the dagger board just an inch or so too high and it caught the vang. We were far enough ahead, and recovered quickly enough to scramble to a 3rd, but needed a 2nd to take the champ. Bugger! I'll be seeing some of those guys for a Xmas beer tonight...It will come up...again (hangs head in shame) :-( Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.
