Hello everybody,<br>Since next sunday is supposed to be sunny, we are organizing a little<br>race to enjoy Lake Burley Griffin while discovering the magical (and<br>somewhat unlogical) world of the regatta sailing rules.<br>
The afternoon would start at 1:30pm at the sailing club with a little<br>explanation of said rules and the setting up of the teams. The idea is<br>to start the race at 2:30pm, and finish the afternoon with a BBQ.<br>The race is going to be a team race, i.e. points are awarded by teams, an cooperation is rewarded. This kind of racing is the best to accommodate many different levels on the water.<br>
The regatta is open to everybody, especially to new-comers, and can be<br>a very good experience to start racing in a very informal environment. <br>Please email me <a href="mailto:Jean-Francois.Morizur@normalesup.org">Jean-Francois.Morizur@normalesup.org</a> if you are interested, and come along on Sunday.<br>
See you<br>JF<br>PS: for those of you willing to get a feel of the sailing rules,<br>please have a look at <a href="http://www.ussailing.org/rules/RulesInBrief.htm">http://www.ussailing.org/rules/RulesInBrief.htm</a>,<br>
and check out rule 14 (makes sense doesn't it?).<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jean-François Morizur<br>PhD Student <br>LKB Jussieu, Paris - ACQAO ANU, Canberra<br><a href="mailto:Jean-Francois.Morizur@normalesup.org">Jean-Francois.Morizur@normalesup.org</a><br>
