Post by: andy_peters on February 23, 2016, 08:38:38 PM: Jamie,

Will stand manners (or femanners) have a pass to get into the show/discounted tickets? Or have to purchase on the door like everyone else. I seem to remember some sort of arrangement in the past.

Post by: roland_trim on February 24, 2016, 11:24:31 AM: The class has a number of tags to get people into the show.

I think I can do a fair bit of Sat and Sun AM

Jamie

Post by: JP233 on March 07, 2016, 12:05:13 PM: Well, my feet hurt.

Thanks to everyone that turned up and helped.
Special thanks go Dean and Si for respraying Eleanor and letting me borrow her!

Post by: Clive Everest on March 07, 2016, 01:04:36 PM: Thank you Jamie for organising this and to everyone who helped man the stand.
How was interest?

I see that on the newly released 2016 PYs we have come down 12 points. More than anyone else.
Recognition that we are one of the few classes still getting faster.

I don't think that we had much influence on this. We only did 2 races at HISC last year.

Post by: JP233 on March 07, 2016, 02:39:11 PM: Thanks Clive!

Not sure how interest was compared to last year, but I did speak to a lot of people!
Roland and Dave C will be able to give a more accurate representation.

If your not the blame(?) who is?

Post by: Clive Everest on March 07, 2016, 02:43:12 PM: Take the PY drop as a compliment.
No other dev class has managed to make themselves any faster.
the amount it has come down by is unlikely to make any real difference.

Don't forget its on 3 year basis, and a drop could equally be older slow results dropping off the calculation. In this case I suspect its mainly due to fewer 97 rules boats influencing the sums.

Cherub returns were dangerously low last year, and you guys badly need to get out and do more races. Also, make sure your clubs are putting returns in, and if not, maybe you could volunteer to help them out:-)

Post by: simon_jones on March 07, 2016, 05:19:17 PM: Just wanted to say thanks to Jamie and all the others who put in the effort for the show this year, I spoke to quite a few people on Sunday who seemed keen to have a go.
