What If?

In response to a fleet member’s request to show “what if” they (and others) had sailed in A fleet, the following results would have been applicable the week of 7-14-15 (Summer Series, Week 2).  I’m not in favor of running all sorts of scenarios to find out “what if” (what if the wind was stronger, what if the wind was weaker, what if we ran a course 2 instead of a course 1, what if I’d started on Port rather than Starboard, etc.).  Best advice is “do it” and you’ll know.

It already takes a fair amount of time to keep all the scoring info up to date for just actual weekly and season results, and administering the website .   I’m personally not in favor of making the job any more complicated or time-consuming.  This fall, when nomination of officers comes up, please feel free to  have someone throw your name into the ring for fleet Statistician (then you can run any scenario you have the time and inclination to).  Sail Fastest (then “what if” doesn’t matter)!
