Our Wednesday folks came up with this same conclusion, but used the difference of scores for the top 5 in each class. This year the Star class was most competitive. Last year it was PHRF B (in our case, that is everybody over PHRF 151).

Use the differences of scores of the top 3 boats in each class. Or use the difference in times of the top 3 in each class. Winner of the tightest class is overall winner. This will usually eliminate rewarding a strong boat in a weak class. Dennis C.

In a fleet the winner of a series is the low point boat based on corrected times for each race. We have three fleets who compete for an overall trophy. The winner has been determined by the lowest overall time for the race series. Each fleet sails the same course, but using three different start times. This year an anomaly occurred in that the low point boat of the three fleets, which usually equates to the lowest overall time, did not win, and indeed a boat that did not win its fleet, coming second, won overall because it had a shorter accumulated time. To rationalize it I have been told that this is like a boat beats another in each of ten races by 5 seconds. For the next two races the previously second place boat wins each by 5 minutes. On overall time he is now the overall winner. Is this not bizarre. Comments would be welcome, particularly from persons knowing how other clubs deal with similar situations.
