It looks like they have done a really good job with combining the speeds in classes on the course at the same time for safety. Closing speeds are not crazy like sometimes happens. People who don't do this have no idea how hard it is to schedule when you have some racers doing double and triple duty. Can't combine this class with that class because the throttleman is in 2 or 3 different class boats.

The second race, 24 boats on the course at one time, is a bit concerning. Wednesday's and Friday's races are short, so there should not be too much lapping, if any, in the Harbor turn. Sunday's race, twice as long, may be a bit of an issue.
