just trying to get a general concensus on how your clubs handle waterfowl on the race course,
do you clear the course before any boats are lanched for each heat?
do you launch boats on the two minute clock and mill the waterfowl out of the way and still try to get in position to make the start clock?
do you think it is worth the risk of milling waterfowl with boats during the clock to possibly have your boat die from milling too slow or possibly hitting waterfowl and getting DQ'ed for the heat?
I feel that if we are milling waterfowl during the two minute clock and we are racing for district points that it is unfair to expect the racers to use their boats and possible loss of points and race position to clear the course. Please chime in on how your clubs handle this.
