Don.....

Thanks for making the rules available in advance and letting us all know we can go out and beat I mean race against the J-30's

Although along with an "attaboy" for doing this I do have one slight problem....the unfairness of the trophies, it seems y'all are hoping that someone will beat BAD DOG and will be adding an incentive of a trophy....but that is a tad bit one sided don't you think...if you are willing to give trophies for each boat, with prescribed conditions met, then I believe turn about is fair play...the good news is you won't need a lot of them, or if I am right, any trophies for that category...but you might consider being fair and have a trophy for each J-30 BAD DOG and his Bitch beat (as I like to be helpful, a rough number might be the number of J-30's entered for the race) actually we would do it without the incentive of trophies cause it's just fun to beat J-30...

I do have a problem as on the occasion crack pipe does get ahead of us and the second hand smoke is interfering with my mental capacity ...some foreign smoke derived from a small glass tube seems to be affecting him more so we are able to pass him easily but still this cannot be good for those around him and for the environment....again I ask that there be a drug test added to weigh in procedures.

I am sure you will have more boats coming out for this as I hear Good Intentions the brilliant father and son team that follow BAD DOG around the buoys want a crack at the J-30’s and the other S2, BAD DOG’s big sister Dixie Chick may be up for this race also…I will have to check with both boats to see if they are willing to lower themselves to race in this event as they usually save their sails and efforts for more competitive races such as the CSA Boat of the Year races.

Again we real racers commend the RC on opening the event to race boats and not just J-30’s…..
