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

So your new advertising slogan is now:
"Beneteau ... slightly below average!"

Who cares? The C&C99 took one race. The 35s5 took one race as well. The
point is that the 35s5 is capable of beating ANY of these VERY fast
boats! And it's the only boat with such a large nice interior!And the
35s5 won the final race "getting right" as it were! Winning the last
race seems to be important with racers for some reason.

Live with it, loser!

Was da matta, Jeff...gonna ignore this one?

"The Charleston Ocean Racing Association's annual Witches' Brew regatta

was raced in the harbor Oct. 30. As with its Femme Fatale race in the
spring, CORA requires a female skipper for each boat in the Witches'
Brew. Though Charleston has produced many outstanding female sailors,
as noted often in this column, the big boats seem to almost always have

men at the helm. These two races do a lot to promote women's
participation and demonstrate their skills. Deb Campeau skippered
Hoodoo, a J/109, to first place in the A fleet. Caroline Byrd was at
the helm of the J/24 Footloose and won the B fleet. Kristy Kowert
skippered Andiamo, a Beneteau 35s5, to first place in C, and Judy
Fair-child was at the helm of Absolu, another 35s5 Beneteau, and took
the honors in D fleet."

Bwahahahahahaha!

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

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.

Good grief, you really don't know a thing about racing, do you? The
bene had a below average day in a handicap race and you're bragging
about it? What a PUTZ!

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.

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.

Sorry, Jeff...the 35s5 BEAT the C&C 99 and that's that. Doug's story
about the last race not counting is a new one for sure. My friends race
and the competition heats up all the way the last race where everyone
throws in the their best effort. You also completely chose to ignore
this...."The Charleston Ocean Racing Association's annual Witches' Brew

Why, Jeff? Can't admit that the 35s5 is a fast boat? Hmmmmm?

I don't know how a 3 mile race even qualifies as a race. I suspect it
was shortened due to lack of wind and the fact that all 5 boats
finished within 4 minutes of each other might also indicate that. As
far as beating the 99 hey, we've beaten a 99 and they start 5 minutes
ahead of us. Anything can happen. So now after 2 weeks of intensive
web searching you've found 2 races where a 35s5 didn't finish last.
Congrats.

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.
