Race Committee's response to some suggestions for changes
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2021 7:12 pm
1. Change of format
The RC has decided NOT to change the format for the event. The whole basic idea with MLS was to sail TOGETHER in a team.
There might be some advantages with the proposed change, but it also raises some questions regarding booking hosts, reserve hosts and video operators.
2. New Boat Type
It has been suggested to bring in AC75 into MLS.
The RC has decided NOT to introduce AC75 for the moment. However, we suggest that some devoted skippers create a separate AC75 tournament to test the boat and evaluate its suitability for MLS racing. (Could Tuesdays when there is no regular MLS racing be suitable)?
3. Courses (Maps)
Different ways of presenting/publish the maps for each race have been discussed.
The RC has decided that all maps that will be used, will be included in one download pack.
Instead of presenting all maps for each day at the beginning of the tournament, the courses to be used will be presented not earlier than one week ahead of the next Race Day to come.
