Just had a good watch of the RG65 nationals videos posted on YouTube.
Is there a reason courses for small classes such as the RG65 having courses set with the windward mark way way off into the distance? I feel it just becomes an eyesight test both for the skippers and observers. Lots of tacking to avoid boats they would never have impeded.
This is not a slight on the PRO and his/her team btw, just a discussion point.
Surely it’s better to have smaller courses with more opportunity for place changes, and therefore more races? I know it’s different for the larger classes who need long courses to stretch their legs.
