Title: WNR Courses
Post by: DarinK on February 28, 2022, 02:36:23 PM
As mentioned in the NOR, we are simplifying much of WNR to make it more manageable.  For the first series, these are the only two courses:

Course 1 (Clear Creek Park):
Start between PVC Starting Pin and Markbot, round Kemah Cut Red Nun (keep to startboard), round White Sailboat (keep to port), back to Kemah Cut Red Nun (keep to port), finish between Barge 295 and No Wake buoy.  4.9 Miles.

Course 2 (Shoals)
Start between PVC Starting Pin and Markbot, round Kemah Cut Red Nun (keep to startboard), round PVC Rounding Mark (keep to port), back to Kemah Cut Red Nun (keep to port), finish between Barge 295 and No Wake buoy. 2.9 miles.

We are starting to formalize the SIs, so now is a good time for feedback.

Darin, One question and one comment.
  Will there be a system for more then one lap around a given course?
  Do you mean Clear Creek Channel buoy #14 when you refer to Kemah Cut Red Nun?

Not at this time.  We will default to the long course, which is equivalent to two "course 3" laps, unless the wind is below 7, in which case we will do the short course.

Yes.  Thanks, I'll fix that.
