GBCA Discussion Forum

Wow, Chris. You made it to 10:15?

Kudos to everyone who helped make it a great weekend.

I hope there's plenty of pain medication this evening. We need courage ahead of time.

US Sailing does not write the rules. ISAF does, with modifications every four years. Boneheaded, or not, USS, along with all the other national organizing bodies, serves to consistently implement those rules and procedures, world-wide. Yes, they seem, for the most part, to be a group of overpaid egoists who charge too much for services rendered, but their ranks, like ours, include many volunteers who make our sport work. Until we write new rules and create an organization to distribute and enforce them, they're what we've got. Somebody has to be in charge.

As Kevin said, one of the big services that USS provides is the training of Certified Race Officials. You should join us on 8/29 at HYC to see what that's all about.

A Level 30 class is in the works. Out of town boats are showing interest in coming.

Special thanks to Kathy R for the incredible amount of work she did to make the parties wonderful!

So what do you think? Chilly, or 104? At least we sail 12 months.

K-Bed, BJ, et al. The reason we were having problems is that this forum is not Firefox friendly. I was locked out of my profile edits until I logged on with IE. Is there a Firefox add-on?

I think the board should be exempt from newbie status. Kevin?

Thank you K-Bed!
