Rules ammended - to reflect second finish point and competition deadline of midday and the prizes

The two finish points will be open from 10.30am - 12.00 noon given how this competition will start very early and the bite hasn't been at all hot after 10.30am. having to stay out longer would be quite a waste of fuel and I don't feel it's fair on our judges manning the finish points for them to be waiting for 1 boat that comes in at 2.30pm if all the others came in between 11-12.

This will be discussed in more detail on Wednesday at the briefing.

The registration form has been ammended slightly as well.

but if some boats want to stay till 2.00pm skip?

last friday at 1200 i caught my last alunga

skip · June 21, 2009, 18:16:45 CET

Will be discussed on Wed in more detail. But basically forget 2pm, at the very latest I will consider 1pm.

Kaptan Jr · June 21, 2009, 18:20:26 CET

ok np skip. Are there going to be registration forms atr the meeting or else we have to bring it with us???

skip · June 21, 2009, 18:34:24 CET

Don't worry about bringing forms, will have them on Wednesday as they were revised slightly so it's easier like that.

We need to keep in mind that our judges are helping us out as a favour so having them out waiting for hours isn't ideal. We'll see what the general feeling is at the briefing and take it from there

Latest weather update provided by Fin after speaking with the Met Office is a clear F4/5 on Sunday and Monday is looking very similar.

Windfinder is still lagging behind a bit showing a F3 borderline F4 but remember that they are providing a wind forecast over Luqa ONLY and not over the sea or West coast.

With the winds WNW as some of you may have noticed the East coast didn't look that bad but the West was rough.

We will do our best to sms everyone but ideally keep an eye on the forum if you're planning to take part. I think a final decision to GO or not will be taken on Saturday morning as I feel Saturday eve is too late, a preparations would already have been done potentially for nothing.

For those that have confirmed can we get an idea whether everyone can make it on the 4th July?

BIKRI · June 24, 2009, 10:30:39 CET

4 th I have a course so I can't make it. If its on sunday its ok, but if I am the only one no problem just go ahead with plans.

Unfortunately the wind gods are not members of the MFF

robby017 · June 24, 2009, 12:11:13 CET
