I noticed a post where someone took note of our Rum Race Buoy and alerted the USCG of it's location. They noted they were going to push for it to be removed. We will look for alternatives...

This is bullshit. Stinger turner her results in for Rum #2. Finished ahead of Harms Way. Don't see that reported.

There is a problem with the NOR's and registration for the Mixed Doubles. The NOR's say October 6&7, 2018. While some of the information is accurate, the dates are all wrong and need to be corrected.
While trying several time to register for the Mixed Doubles, that web site would not come up and I would be directed to the Single Handed registration. Plus it would not allow me to correct this error.
PLEASE, Fix this lack of accuracy and registration mix up.

Boats that are going to race in the Club Handicap Spinnaker class will restart their rating with an assumed PHRF rating.
If we decide to race in the Club Handicap Spinnaker class, how do we get this assumed PHRF rating so we know what our start time on Saturday will be?

After careful review of the sailing instructions (and no replies to the contrary) I see a reference to GBCA Club Handicap rating at the bottom of page 1 in the start time equation (which I agree should use 11.25 instead of 12.81). From that I assume there will be a club handicap class. I will start at my club handicap time tonight. It should be a fun fast race tonight.

The SA/D class divisions in your post and in the SIs are reversed. High performance boats have higher SA/D ratios than racer cruisers and the SIs imply boats with lower SA/D are in the racing spinnaker class...

Scott, why are these class/rating decisions not being put to a community vote (maybe I missed it)? I just went through the same issue with the Shoe Regatta class divisions PHRF w/l vs ORC w/l which resulted in a class being killed. I think the intent here is good but it's going to be a lot harder to get the boats who leave because they are tired of these seemingly random changes to come back, then to attract the boats that are sitting at the dock.
You coherently outlined why you think "your" approach is better and I appreciate it...now put it to a vote. At the moment the only mechanism to vote is to register for a race or not, and the numbers don't lie.
