Hi,
pls let us now asap when it will be possible to race for you
Pls take into account, WTRC is going to start in february, so it would be good to have this challenge sailed before.
for suire we would be more happy to get it on the water but regarding to the activity at VTC we would not stop to ask for a walkover:-)

Regards, Matthias

We need practice before WTRC, so racing this challenge is a good opertunity
This and next week will be hard, but we'll get back to you with info about our race options.

We need to do the races within 4 weeks (up from the 20th Januar).
For sure we can manage to race before the wtrc has started (14th februar).

May we can aim a date in the week between the 7th and 13th februar?

Please suggest a date or two.

Holger

PS: Race Format? Best of 5?
PPS: The TL maps are not usefull for TR imho. So we can use the WTRC20 - 10 or 11 maps when you are agree (or for sure the standart ITBYC maps.)

[casino]

we don t care about the maps but imo some of the tl 10 maps are usefull for teamracing.
2nd week of february will be ok (i ll ask my team to offer a date).
btw: the delay to accept the challenge on 20th of january was not our fault. we asked in april 2010 for a challenge:-)
so 2nd week of february should be the last week to do this challenge as wtrc is going to start after.

any ideas, when you will be ready?

I don't know for sure, but Holger should be done with his duties these days. You suggest tues-thurs. Thurs is not ok for me (traveling the weekend). So if it happens next week, it has to be Tues or Wed. But I have alot to finish before a business deadline on Thursday and plenty of work to do before Thursday for WTRC, so I can't guarantee at this stage.

i was just suprised Union found time to do some RPCs last week (3 members of Union while Holger told me about no chance for racing):-)
if it works better for you we are also able to offer sunday (13.02).
but imo races should be sailed next week as otherwise there wont be a challenge before april (cause of WTRC).
4 days you are free to choose.
sry about the pressure but a rank#1 team should be able to find a date within 3 weeks:-)

You are surprised that Holger suddenly got time on Wednesday? So were we, but do you want us to cancel the RPC which involves other skippers because of this sudden availability?

It's really funny how intense you are about this when everybody is busy the weeks before WTRC. In WTRC all teams will do alot of races, so the ranking will shuffle.

I'm closing this thread now. Walkover result scored.
