YF-1

Y-Flyers are doublehanded racing sailboats.

Sometimes a crewmember won't show up for a club race and a substitute can't be found.

I know of at least two clubs that allow the skipper to singlehand the boat.

Which leads me to suggest that there should be a new division of Y-Flyer racing.

Much like classes that have skinnaker and non-spinnaker groups.

In 2012 we should allow racing in a new YF-1 division.


Perhaps even allow all Y-Flyers to use a "pole-launcher" and a self tacking jib.
