Clydesailing forum - Re: Scottish IRC Championships

I agree with Pete, if there is a problem with the SI's then shouldn't it be pointed out? I would have thought trying to make the job of the protest committee a bit easier by cutting out contradictions or errors in the SI's would be appreciated? Specially coming from someone thats as experienced (no offence) as Pete. After all shouldn't we be trying to improve the quality of Scottish events? (Before anybody says it, Im not saying they are poorly run a the moment)

P.S Pete tries hard with his jokes...not his fault if most of them are rubbish!! hahaha only kidding big man

  Pete's post does not to me read as a slag. It is a reasoned criticism which is not personal and as such is entirely valid, especially, coming as it does, from a respected, experienced and popular... more

    He's posting this before the event and I'm sure will also be contacting the committee. If more poeple also do this, then there is a greater chance that there will be change to the SI's. He's taken... more

    I think Peter has probably got bored of pointing this out as he alludes to in his opening line "once again disappoints". The Scottish IRCs have disappointed in their race management for a few years... more

      I'm sure the intentions with the post were good. After all I'd put good money on some boats not reading the sailing instructions and then thinking wtf when they started racing. Whatever angle you... more

        Even if the technical content of the post was accurate and it may well be the side comments and inference was not necessary by the author "Pete". A forum is not the place to do it. I am sure an... more

        Dear Anonymous, I agree with Pete and knowing Pete as I do, I find it difficult to believe he has anything other than the sport’s best interest at heart. If you want to try the argument of volunteers ... more

        I hope its not. He is correct in what he says and no matter how many times its pointed out it gets ignored
