[Rhodes22-list] any racers on the list?

[ejor2 at aol.com]

Been really good, last bunch of rain has the lake full, good weather, good wind, what more could we ask for. You need to let me know when you're in town and we can get out before it gets too hot. My son has been tearing it up on his Laser all winter!

H WELL) Focus on boat speed more than trying to "point high" and a direct run 
own wind isn't always the best route, most of the time your better off 
eaching: it's an apparent wind thing. The other advice, especially on a lake, 
s "follow the puff" or if you are in a good puff of wind try to stay in it even 
f it takes you "off course" some, again boat speed is everything, you gotta 
eep the dang thing moving. Just get out and do it you'll have a blast.

 Is there still anyone on the list that races?  I think I'm going to enter a
 acing series on Wednesday nights, more for the experience and the built in
 equirement that I go sailing every Wednesday than from any expectation to
 e competitive.  They usually have 8-12 boats participate of every shape and
 ize, but we will be the smallest by at least a few feet.  I know absolutely
 othing about racing rules, strategy, etc., but part of the fun will be to
 earn some of that stuff.
 
 All encouragement and advice from the list are appreciated.
 
 Ben
