no one wants to take time out from racing to do rc work. as a reward for doing rc they will get a bullet or low score. that keeps them up with the others that don't miss a race caused by doing rc jim schwartz c&c 38 lf SEA YA!

I'd never heard the term either - it's not used in the community I've raced in the last four years. But I guessed its meaning correctly :) Cheers, Randy From: "Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: "cnc-list" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: "Kevin Driscoll" <kevindrisc...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2016 4:01:07 PM Subject: Re: Stus-List RC issues. http://www.answers.com/Q/What_exactly_does_the_Sailboat_racing_term_a_bullet_mean_start_first_round_first_finish_first_or_just_finish_first?#slide=2 Do you race much Steve?

I mean, I get it that there is supposed to be a gun culture in certain places, but I am guessing you are using the word as a scoring term that I am not familiar with.

It is In the last 4 years since I've been involved I haven't known of any trouble securing an RC boat, even on the coldest and wettest of circumstances. Technically serving as RC for one race is 'mandatory,' but there are always more crews that would like to volunteer (and grab a bullet) than there are weekends available. An RC boat not showing for duty would be scandalous in the community I would think. Never heard of it happening here. An alternative to getting a boat out is the option of assembling RC on a dock or pier and running the race from there. This is an option to RC crews in our series that I've seen a handful of times in the last few years. I would say getting an average of your other scores is not enough carrot, IMO.
