The crews would be able to strut their yellow jerseys for a day or so and get a little attention usually the owner/tactitician gets--"Hey, yellow, great job on the bow today, how did you get the afterbirds around the course so quickly!"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06711678752739621209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113676.post-73227576951574519322008-05-19T22:34:00.000-07:002008-05-19T22:34:00.000-07:00Great minds must think alike.

At the end of each day during the R Class nationals, the series-leading skipper and crew receive the yellow jerseys to wear until the end of the next day. But the class has a good-natured twist on the jersey concept: the skipper and crew on the lowest-placed boat that has managed to finish every race receive brown jerseys at the end of the day. (At least the brown shirts are usually received with good humor...)Sutter Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691308408423306754noreply@blogger.com
