You really don't get this, do you? It isn't about not racing, though I'm
sure it happens in PHRF racing, but it wasn't common in the collegiate
racing I did, simply because it isn't fair to other teams teams that came
a long way to compete against a full fleet.

However, the strategy changes in the last race. A boat that is in last
place for a regatta is left to do whatever it wants, and thus has its best
shot at winning an individual race. Meanwhile, the silver is being won
elsewhere on the course by the real racers. This isn't a hypothetical
situation; it happens in almost every regatta.

Ask one of your racing friends, if they really exist. Maybe they'll
explain it to you real slow, using small words.

They'll have to draw some pictures, too, Jeff. Bubbles is simply clueless
about this.

You guys are gonna look pretty foolish when Bob starts winning
all those races next year.
