Hi Paul, Please see the email below. Do you think the Open PHRF boats would have any objection to staring with Class Flag 3? I would like to issue the new SIs before next week. Thanks, John ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: John Sheehan <sheehanjohn505@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 2:39 PM Subject: Proposed Changes to Start Order To: Michael Lucas <michael.lucas01@mac.com>, Howard Rinehart < HRinehart@msn.com>, Vincent Troia <v.troia@verizon.net>, Holly Cullen < hdcmd5@optonline.net>, Robert Shoemaker <rshoemak@stern.nyu.edu> Wednesday night RC, Do you have any objection to a re-write of Rule 6 of the Wednesday night SIs? For safety and consistency I would like to have in writing a distinction between Open / PHRF and Open / Non-PHRF boats. Please see below. I would appreciate any comments. Also, are the streamers useful? Can they be eliminated? Best, John Sheehan Chair - Race Committee Nyack Boat Club 6. CLASS FLAGS 6.1*. *The class flags and streamers are shown in 6.4 below. 6.2*.
