Hi Dave and Bob

No, not kidding!
As Brucat noted... Most of the other class non cat Championship regattas that he has worked limit the number of races to two or three IN THE NOTICE OF RACE

The Tornado Class does it... I will bet money without looking that the F18's do the same.

So, Must be some reason....

In Tornado's...the reasons I was given was equipment breakdown did not knock you out of a good finish with a throw and limit of races per day.

I am certain there are others.

I have also seen Olympic level crew's needing assistance after three races in 15 knots.

Other classes LIMIT the number of races in a championship...eg 11 races with one throwout. The Hobie 16 culture of run em till the time runs out... go for the record ... or till you die is very different

For sure... this philosophy gets you the most amount of sailing for you money.

I am just asking the question and pointing to the differences that exist in the sport. We are not the first group of sailors to consisder this question ... and we differ from the majority of classes... Might be good to have some good clear reasons. My only issue is again one of clarity and full disclosure.
Just as NOR's declare the limit races per day and races per championship. Perhaps they should be clear when the intention of the championship is to have unlimited races and unlimited races per day.

Fair is probably the wrong word to use here...Reasonable, appropriate, sporting,... something else may be better
(fair does get a good knee jerk response though).

So a more open ended quesiton how about:
12 races in two days... Why?
