There is too much yelling and it hurts my feelings.

Spotting something with a 40' waterline 23 seconds a mile is not my idea of fair competition --- unless its a beam reach or better.

Boo hoo hoo.

20+ is excellent.

That might be a bit much on day two for the J105 fleet. Especially if infinity is leading after day one.

So... who won non-spin?

What if the appeals process went like an Appraisal District protest?
1. First you go to an "arbitrator" who automatically offers you a 1 second/mile increase to your rating.  You say not good enough, I'll take it to a panel of my peers!  So you schedule a hearing with the panel.
2. The panel of your "peers" consists of three old retired guys that own motor boats, and don't know a thing about sailing, much less sailboat racing.  But on behalf of the fleet (of which you are a member, by the way) they have an "expert", direct from the Classic bar, to advise them.
3. The panel pretty much believes every thing the "expert" says, and the "expert" says even though there's really no concrete basis for it, he thinks your rating should be reduced by 18 seconds/mile.
4. The panel agrees and your rating is changed.

A good number to call to get the correct time:
303-499-7111

  Just a hint to everyone though...the drink tastes so much better in a GBCA Tervis Tumbler! 

Just be sure you don't get a bad ice cube in your drink, right MAR and KAT?
