Shirley probably won't speak to me for giving her my points and place in
error.  Nothing personal, sorry.  Just an issue with summing, sorting
and copying from Excel to Outlook.

Dear friends,
 
I am sorry I have been unable to race with you during the second half of
our ODCA series.  A commitment to sail aboard the Cal 40, Azure in the
StFYC Big Boat Series, including a couple of HDA races as practices
leading up to that event, that fall on the same days as our series
races, has been my obstacle.
 
In any event, my recollection of what we agreed to at our pre-season
meeting was that our plain sails season would be split into two halves,
that prizes would be awarded to the winner of each half and that if two
different individuals won the two halves, both would go to the Champion
of Champions Regatta but, unlike last year, the overall ODCA winner of
our Class would not be determined there but, would be determined by
who's cumulative score for the half season they won, was lowest.
 
I am not certain about what we agreed to concerning the Season Closer.
Though Saturday of it should consist of course races that could be
sailed with just plain sails by our Fleet, if we chose to, doing so and
counting the results would mess with the math concerning what boat won
what half with the lowest points because it would result in more than
five races being counted per half, given one throw out.
 
I suggest that the Season Closer not be counted in our plain sails
series.  We may have discussed doing it as part of our Spinnaker Series
or having separate awards for it; either remain options.  Jan has
suggested bottles of wine be awarded to the top three or four boats
competing in the Season Closer, as an example of how this might be
handled.
 
What follows is my calculation for the two halves of our plain sails
season, including one throughout per half:
 
1	 Frank Lawler	 Tackful	 581	 2	 3	 1
1	 1	 2	 7	 	1	 Tom Montoya	 1
1	 1	 2	 3	 2	 7	
2	 Tom Montoya	 Meliki	 5194	 3	 1	 4	 5
2	 1	 11	 	2	 Frank Lawler	 2	 2
3	 4	 2	 3	 12	
3	 Giovaccini & Buckingham	 Tchoupitoulas	 5044	 4
5	 2	 3	 3	 4	 16	 	4	 Jan
Grygier	 9	 9	 2	 1	 1	 1	 14	
4	 Michael Andrews	 Bonito	 811	 1	 2	 3
2	 10	 10	 18	 	3	 Giovaccini & Buckingham
4	 3	 4	 3	 4	 4	 18	
5	 Shirley Bates	 Inshallah	 5100	 6	 7	 8
7	 4	 3	 27	 	7	 Clyde Niesen	 5
7	 6	 6	 8	 8	 32	
6	 Jan Grygier	 Carlos	 5020	 9	 4	 5	 4
10	 10	 32	 	10	 Bill Murphy	 7	 5
8	 8	 8	 8	 36	
7	 Leah Pepe	 Kelly Shawn	 38000	 5	 6	 8
7	 7	 7	 32	 	9	 Megan Dwyer	 6
6	 9	 9	 8	 8	 37	
8	 Megan Dwyer	 London Calling	 5029	 9	 10	 6
7	 5	 5	 32	 	8	 Leah Pepe	 9
9	 9	 9	 6	 6	 39	
9	 Clyde Niesen	 Chopped Liver	 5084	 7	 8	 8
7	 6	 8	 36	 	5	 Shirley Bates	 3
4	 5	 5	 5	 5	 43	
10	 Bill Murphy	 Usquebugh	 5166	 9	 10	 8
7	 8	 6	 38	 	6	 Michael Andrews
9	 9	 9	 9	 8	 8	 43	
 
 So, if you accept my logic, our plain sails season is over and wow,
Frank and Tom both won a half, each ending the half they won with seven
points!  Now, a tie breaker is usually decided by who has the most lower
scores but, the both have 3 bullets and two seconds after a throw out.
Even considering the throw out, they both discarded thirds.  Pretty
amazing.  My knowledge gets thin here; I have never had to look this far
to determine a winner.  Jan and I have spoken on the subject and he
tells me that, in such cases, the individual to beat the other in the
last race of the series, wins.  If this is so, that makes Tom the winner
as he, conveniently if this is correct, beat Frank in the last race of
both the first and second halves.
 
Frank and Tom, given your interest in the issue, do you know of anything
different from what Jan has told me?  I have honestly not had an
opportunity to research this but, should there be any disagreement or
controversy over this, I will.
 
Warm regards,
 
Michael Andrews
