Why did she care? Did she think you were all going to keep going?

We did not need to cross the channel, just round the mark off Annapolis. The fleet arrived about the same time as a freighter (on the other side of the channel). The pilot hailed the RC and made her displeasure known. Can't please everyone.

The whole idea of how mark roundings happen in racing cannot work if the notional idea of where the mark is differs by even 5 or 10 feet from boat to boat. I would either use government marks or you all cough up enough cash to get an old Whaler and teenager to run around moving marks.

The owner of the lead boat claimed the boat did a “navigational rounding” – which it may have done – but everyone was so skeptical that the race was abandoned. As long as you have a fleet of Corinthian sailors and everyone agrees ahead of time, I suppose you can do whatever the fleet decides. That said, don’t be surprised if you get some disgruntlement in practice.

One of the big issues we face is lack of resources. Marks are dropped in the water a day or two in advance of a regatta and then are either cut loose, vandalized or have broken free by the time a race is actually run. And there is no chase boat usually available to either drop a new mark or put up an M flag to act as one. Someone brought up the idea of a virtual mark in case a mark is missing, which is a new concept to me. I was thinking of language in the SIs that say something along the lines of “If a mark is missing or has moved more than 300 feet from its stated latitude/longitude position, and the race committee is unable to replace it, then the mark shall be the stated latitude/longitude position.” Basically, the thought is, especially since this happens now and again, not to have to cancel a regatta because a mark has disappeared. Has anyone ever used “virtual marks”? Does anyone object to the practice? If so, why? Appreciate anyone’s input. Even Risch’s. All the best, Edd Edd M.
