UNCLE Gs List of rules are the bees knees in my option not many and well explained…. an a dummy like me can get it With the exception of hitting a buoy as said before (distance eye sight etc ) if that one is out replace it with “for gods sake avoid a collision at all costs” The one about barging is an interesting one think of this mass of boats tracking for the first buoy all with good wind arriving at the mark near or at the same time one boat is Slow to turn he takes out x amount of boats the others still bunched strive for the next buoy still bunched there is always going to be barging as much as you don’t want it to be so I think barging in this instance is unavoidable even if a separation on that run is there….. at the buoy every one is going to try to go close to the mark to turn because that’s were you want to be this usually occurs at the first and second marker so the answer lies there ….. my thought for this…. move these turn buoys further out or only one turn buoy allowing the fleet to spread out thoughts any one One last one when its decided …….our membership card is big enough for the rules to be printed on so “why not “
