In the 1980's, the Europe regatta was part of a Pre-Olympic Regatta hosted in the Chesapeake. We actually set a different mark half-way up the beat to end the beam reach (the start line was at the bottom as normal for large course racing). Seems to me this course should be in the repertoire of any PRO running a singlehanded regatta.Tweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-40773540447664133022013-11-13T20:33:31.221-08:002013-11-13T20:33:31.221-08:00I understand that this course is fairly well known...I understand that this course is fairly well known in college dinghy sailing and is named in honor of the legendary Harry Anderson. Both of the major Laser frostbite fleets in New England (Cedar Point and Newport) use a version of it, and call it an "H" Course.<br /><br />It can provide some exciting reaching legs, and a great opportunity for the RC to shoot some video and photos. You should definitely use it again when the conditions suit it.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.com
