So here I am, trying to redress the balance after several posts I wrote whining about race committees and regatta organizers, letting the world know yesterday of a story about how Malletts Bay Boat Club was able to post the results of the 2007 Laser US Nationals so quickly…
When some dude called Brian leaves a comment telling me about all the problems at the self-same regatta and letting all the air out of the balloon. Apparently Brian had to walk an eighth of a mile most days, and failed to make the time limit in one race, and suffered other gross indignities such as having to look at a sign saying “Member Parking Only”…
Well, I have to admit that dude Brian has the jump on me because he actually sailed in the regatta while I have just been soaking up the propaganda promulgated on the web by the regatta organizers. But even so…
I refuse to be brought down by dude Brian’s negativity. I demand to hear good news about race committees and regatta organizers. So please tell me…
What was the best example you have seen this year of excellence in race management?
Which regatta organizers did a superb job in your view?
What regatta did you sail this year where you left thinking, “These folk just know how to run a regatta properly. I will be back.”?
Give me some good news. I insist.
