Naples, FL | I have understood that it is generally better to have the weight centralized. And low

Florida Suncoast, Dunedin Caus... | Why??
No reason... I think they had to add weight... so.. somebody thought that this was the best place for it... just NOT the approved location for corrector weights. I think it is just the culture of sailing these days... Push the rules... wait for the protest... deal with the consequences.
If given three choices... Cheating, Stupidity, or Sabotage...
I vote stupidity..A culture that agrees.. this is a trivial rule, it won't make a difference in performance. Therefore... Push it. I don't see a culture here that thinks the rules are meant to be broken. That's cheating, and stupid.
Have Fun

Annapolis, MD | I don't see a culture here that thinks the rules are meant to be broken. That's cheating, and stupid. The culture is... We bend the rules a bit...we don't break them... because we are special! So, Now... we have to add weight.... Where? epoxy plus lead... or for the last boat... just lead shot... to the king post. OR where the rule tells us... When your special.... you bend the rules... AND GET AWAY WITH IT.... OOOPS! (I want to know if the youth teams were putting the boats together and the free lead shot fell out of the king post tube with balls everywhere starting the WTF is this about questions.)

Long Beach, California | That's a cucumber red laser peel with a vitamin B12 hot sand scrub in a superoxengenated hyperbaric chamber. The whole thing is done ON the equator to reduce magnetic interference. I think it looks very natural.

On the Water | Racing for the finals starts Saturday. Be prepared. Only one day is live on YouTube. Currently, we can watch it live with the APP, but I'm wondering if NBC will try to kill that also. Broadcast Schedule LV Finals or here. (click on the North America tab)
