Sorry champ (jcasto1),

Did not mean to offend non spinnaker boats. Did not mean give away your non spinnaker boat, but just have a go of a cat with a kite. You'll love it.

Any way, even on our Nacra 5.8, I realy enjoyed the windward/leward races as they were far more tacticly challenging (It is more a racers race). We still had the short reach to the clearance mark but left the long reaches for before/in between and after the races.

Quite simply, most spinnaker boats do not want reaches. May be an option would be to run a triangle course with non spinnaker boats doing one triangle, windward/leward and then another triangle (3 laps) and the spinnaker boats do 4 windward lewards.

You will have to run 2 different divisions or use a course corection handicap.

Just a thought.
