Electricity was in the air when your reporter was granted an interview by the RMS system developers.
I was taken blindfolded to a secret location and taken into a room with no windows which has special cooling systems to maintain The Masters brain at a constant temperature when he is using more than 10% of his enormous intellect.
The Master was seated at his computer, while his fool, who also crews for The Master, capered about and gibbered.
The Master was surprised that lady members had no difficulty using the system whereas a number of male members preferred to use egg timers, quill pens, whistles, flags and worry beads instead of the system.
I was shocked by the next revelation. It seems the system has now reached such a state of perfection that it is no longer necessary to run races!
All the data from the last 2 seasons has been integrated into the latest version of the system – about to be released.
All that will be required, to calculate the results, from the start of the next season will be
· an up to date list of boats/helms
· the wind direction and speed
· a sample of Louise’s urine
For the first 2 months of next season races will be run, in parallel with the system, to confirm the accuracy of the system and thereafter the boats will be laid up allowing members to concentrate on mowing their berths and attending Social Events.
The next meeting of the Sailing Committee is likely to be lively!
