• Pondering Rule 3 - Are Race Officers and Organizing Authorities Over-Reaching?
  Would be nice to see a simple organization / responsibilities chart for this Report ('RYA Summary and Response to the serious incident at the Youth National Championships 2025') , as it introduces various positions & roles: Director of Racing, Event Director, Safety Management Group amd Race officials and safety teams, and how they interact with the OA and RC / RO. For example, where I am here, the Event Director does the Clubhouse functions & activites - organizing awards nights, catering and enterainment etc, and has very limited involcment with the RC/RO functions &  activites.

  Angelo,  I believe that you have the right calculation.
  
  I've attached a simple spreadsheet that would run on a smart phone.   At the start you need the boats, their ratings, start time, finish window entered.  After the first boat finishes you enter her finish time and rating of the boat.   At the bottom is the time to pick to the toys and go home.   
  
  This was for a Time on Time PHRF, but a similar method can be used for other TCF handicap systems.

  Thanks All,
  Have gone with the Danish version (thanks Hans) but changed boat to vessel. Will not be using I flag so no need to add that complication.

• Time Limit Expired (TLE)
  in my opinion, is not a suitable answer in such circumstance. However, TLE encourages boats to start and make every effort to complete, which is correct for small single fleets.

  Thanks again Tim and all, I have it all well in perspective now - and application subtleties etc as Michael points out...
