10.01.2022 PERFECTION IS KILLING SAILBOAT RACING! So says internationally acclaimed racing sailor and sailmaker, Ken Read in the latest copy of Seahorse Magazine. And I ag...ree with him completely. For too long we have sat around waiting to race - not so much waiting for the wind gods, but waiting for race committees to lay ‘perfect’ start lines to perfectly placed windward marks. Ken makes compelling points, in his excellent article that today’s sailors are far more sensitive about their own time management these days and therefore they would get more enjoyment out of racing if they spent more on water time actually racing rather than getting too the ‘perfect’ venue and awaiting perfect conditions. The modern obsession with ‘perfect’ race course was, in my opinion, the beginning of the end of events like the Admiral’s Cup so the beginning of this problem highlighted by Ken Read can probably find its origins way back in the mid eighties. Many people put the demise of these style of ocean racing events down to lack of available time, But it is interesting to reflect that maybe too much time was being wasted. I really like Ken’s ideas that the postponement flag should by retired and that start time delays through lack of wind could be, with modern forecasting, decided the night before. Why stop a race just because the start line is no longer square to the course. Don’t stop a race once it has started. Just shorten it, to one leg if necessary. People want results for their efforts and if its a bit of a lottery sometimes - so what! It’s the same for everybody. I particularly like Ken’s idea of making the last race of the day, or if it’s the only race of the day finish just outside the harbour rather than miles away at a committee boat.
