I wanted my post from Wednesday to make the same point about handicap racing but you appear to write more effectively than I do.I also have some trophies, mostly plastic keepers and our boat name on a few oldies held at the club but those winnings came at the expense of having fun more often than not. I will say however that handicap racing did a lot to improve my overall sailing knowledge and skills.I often tell folks that I learned how to sail through racing, now it is hard to just sit back and relax on the boat if the sails don't look quite right.at least I have learned to be happy with only one multi purpose headsail on board Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Colin Kilgour Sent: February 8, 2013 2:02 PM To: C&C List Subject: Re: Stus-List Handicap review Man.... just skimming all this discussion makes it increasingly clear while sailboat racing is in decline. I've certainly got more than my share of racing trophies on the wall (both handicap and one-design) but this handicap stuff really sucks the soul out of the sport (IMO, of course) Cheers, Colin
