    Default Fiasco 2015

    84 already signed up. Race Information Officer, Chris Humann, is playing it smart and approving people quickly so he doesn't have to do 300+ racers at the last minute.

    205 looksees on this thread and no strategizing yet? Seriously? Where's the trash talk? And why hasn't Outsider registered yet? I've raised my spinnaker 8 times already. I'm ready! Remember, the start line is restricted, the sun goes down @ 5:30pm and the Ebb is 3.6 knots at 1:30pm. Lots of potential for malfeasance.

    Aw, you know we're too polite for trash talking on the forum. Best to leave that for the race course ;-)

    At least we're all three racing singlehanded - you know, the way the SSS and God intended. Now K's in kind of a marshmallow division but DM has some competition and better bring the big kite and her big girl pants.

    I have to beat three Wylie 39's and Dirk's new First 30. Since last year's winner flew a Code Zero for much of the course, I plan to bring mine. Dirk, you got one of those?

    (How am I doing?)

    My spinnaker is 100% of the I measurement and 180% of the J. It's pretty, too.

    Did I miss something or maybe even imagined something?
    During the 3BF skippers meeting in a room packed full of quasi attentive sailors, the question was asked about the start finish line restriction. I swear I heard the response that it was restricted only until after the last start (which would be 1030-ish). The race SIs simply state that the start finish line is restricted. Am I the only one that heard that?

    Trash talk... who needs trash talk when there are so many BIG questions to ponder:

    1. Will there be WIND, and if so from what direction and when?
    2. We know there will be CURRENT...
    3. Which way to go?
    4. And in what order...

    Good Luck, because we all need it!

    Jibeset shows 368 in 2011.

    In case you haven't seen it, here's Brian Cline's video from last year: Crazy!
