Even clobbered the C&C99 and boat for boat!

Wow, Bob! You sure know a lot about racing! For the entire day
the bene's results in a fleet of 6 we
4,3,3,5,6,5,3,1

I'm surprised they took the series with those finishes. Must have been a
number of DNFs among the other competitors!


They didn't win, they took 4th out of 6. And the 6th was obviously a
non-racer, so they were effectively a few points out of last.

More often its a consolation prize.


Umm, no. Winning the first race of a series is more important. In fact,
when there is a tie, the boat which beat the other one in the first race
is an official determination in breaking the tie.

If a sailor/boat is really really good, they often have a big enough
lead that they don't even have to sail the last race.

This is especially true if there's a throwout. Also the last race is
often really a match race between the 1 and 2 boats; who actually wins
is meaningless. But this is totally lost on Bob.
