Get a small two-man dinghy with, and this is important, NO SPINNAKER!
Make sure the wind is light so NO HIKING! (Well, maybe some leaning out is OK.)
Assign one geezer as PORT helmsman and the other as STARBOARD helmsman which eliminates any one person actually crossing the entire boat on tacks
Enjoy whatever the competition brings!

The previous header photo was of the Norfolk Punt, a racing dinghy class found on the Norfolk Broads, England and derived from the bird gunning punts that were in use there in the late 1890s, early 1900s. The Norfolk Punts are 22 long, double-ended and like the International Canoe, the modern boats have no resemblance to their heritage except for the canoe stern. The Norfolk Punts of today are very much a modern racing dinghy with double trapezes, assymetrics, and a tall, overpowering sailplan. Although the modern class is a development class there does seem to be a good mix of vintage punts racing though I have no idea how they handicap Punts with hulls from 1935 versus a punt designed in the last ten years. The Punt featured in the header photo looks like a 1960s Wyche and Coppock single chine design.
The photo of the Norfolk Punt below gives a good idea of what the original sailing Punt looked like; reverse sheer, decks sloping outward, high coamings. With this Punt you can see the gunning punt lineage. This Punt looks short so it may be a reproduction.
Here is a modernized 1930s Punt hull with carbon rig and trapeze. It retains the reverse sheer and high coamings.
A video of a modern double trapeze Punt with the video also ending with a modern double trapeze teabag capsize.

I mentioned when I published the offsets for the Mistral hull panels that you still needed some bulkheads to bend the panels around. John Z. immediately shot me, via email, the section dimensions he measured off his very fast Y2K Mistral. They are taken every 305mm to give an even 11 sections over the length of the hull. (Station 3353 being the transom, sitting on the aft end of the hull panels). John used every other section inserted in his panels when he bent them up to set up the hull shape. It must be noted that 3 bulkheads are left in the hull before decking and two of them dont exactly lie on station spacing given (the forward edge of the aft deck being the exception, it usually aligns with Station 2743.).
