I see the Musto convincingly came out on top, does anyone have any details? Did the conditions favour the MS?

Saturday was about 12-15 knots and Sunday was 6 - 8knots so a bit of everything.

The full details are here;

Great event; I really enjoyed it.

There is also a report by Paul Brotherton on thedailysail.com.

If anything this would be 700 conditions not that it matters.

It was a good fun event and I enjoyed racing RS700/MPS together, nice to see some old friends and new faces.Thank you HISC for running the event and Holt for the Prizes

It would be fun to have a race of all the fast single handers together (any one out there keen to organise it?)it would make for a big fleet. The French almost ran an event called Extreme Solitare but cancelled it

Possible boats could be MPS,RS700,ICA,IC,Foiling Moths,RS600,Contenders,Phantom,Blaze?

It would be more like the hare and the tortoise

 

if you raced MPS etc against Blaze

 

Why not add some single handed cats into the equation ???

Sounds like a good plan.

 

Again this year at the Grafham Cat open (this coming weekend) there will be prizes (extracted from the whole fast handicap fleet) for fast single handed cats.

The Scottish have a similar event called the Scottish Single hander championship. The 300’s use it as part of there traveler series. I am sure who ever did it would get masses of boats as long as it is kept central

A couple of us on the 700 committee have been discussing the idea of some form of top singlehanded skiff event for a while now.  The original idea was a sort of round robin including swapping boats, but we were struggling to know which classes we could include to make it fair.  700 / MPS / ICA  and possibly 600 / IC / Vario was about where my thinking was.

Is there any appetite for this type of event?

How can you include the Contender, Phantom and Blaze, but specificaly miss out conventional moths? The foilers are certainly more comparable to the MPS etc but lowriders are by no means sluggish
