The competition committee has drafted the following:

Team Division will now be defined as 3-4 people in a boat. 

A new division known as Voyageur Division will be 5-9 people in a boat.

Dragonboat will be defined as 10+ per boat.

This improves competition in the 3-4 per boat category by not having them race much larger boats.  There are 15 such boats on the roster this year.  11 of the 15 are 3 person boats.

Voyageur Division boasts 4 boats so far.  1 is a 5 person.  2 are 6 person and 1 will be 7 person.  Should be good competition there for the podium.

Here's where I need some help.  I've moved the previous team division record to the new Voyageur class as it was set by a 6 man boat.  But I'm not sure who would now hold the Team Division record for fastest 3-4 person boat.  It was probably set in the last two years.  Any guesses?  Was it 3 Dudes?  I actually need to generate a top 10 list for the records page.  If any statisticians out there want to flesh that out, it would be appreciated.  Otherwise it will have to wait until post 340.

Answered my own question for part of it.

1 Jeff, Kevin and David Moore  (2010)  45:53
2 Green, Schwartz, Wilson, Cowley  (2009)  46:42 (Ashley, Al, Kathy, Jen, and Tom Green, Bill and Sandy Schwartz, and Joe Wilson)
3 Dan Grubbs, Christina Glauner, Di McHenry, Zahaim Abdullah  (2008)  51:24
4 Jeff Jager, Matt Laughlin and Dan Deutermann  (2010)  56:29
5 Ralph Hernandez, Bill Jones and Rudy Bears  (2010)  59:11
6 Gordon, Gordon, Geisinger  (2009)  60:58
7 Jeb, Rashad, Paul and Danny Brugman  61:51


Would still love to have the rest of the top 10.  If not, I'm sure we'll have a full top 10 after this year wraps up.

Yes, got you updated.  Tell your bros to post as well and I'll get them.  Well earned.  That's a very good time you guys put up.  Now you just have to defend it!

Scott,

I know it 2008, Dan Grubbs, Di, Christina, and Zaheem did it in 54 hours I think.  But I don't know if you classify them differently as a true mixed since its 50/50.

You are right.  I had them listed as Mixed Team but I think it's better to just lump it all together into Team.  I have fixed it above.

In the Records, I have them listed in Team and as Mixed Team, for the sake of future generations of statisticians.
