.... a bit of 'performance anxiety' coming into play there perhaps ?
 Seriously for a moment we do understand and it is a bit of a long haul if you are in a strange boat. The IOS race is hardly typical. On the other hand ... 'kneewrecker' might be on to something there. Eeerm has GRF still got a loan Icon one ? .. just wondering Mike L. |

Nah, don't think so, last time we tried we broke it, she's a bit long in the tooth and knackered for that event now much as I have a feeling half way round I'm going to wish we had, so what's the betting then? Will you make the bridge before us, what will you have an hour start?  I need to go and look at the SI's I can't remember when they let the 'special needs' fleet start.. 
Meanwhile I'll see how our secret kite plans are cooking, how do you think that dangly pole thing will work with a hornet kite and washerwoman b14bag. Edited by iGRF - 28 Aug 14 at 3:32pm |

Five confirmed tasar's coming to Round Sheppy

Dancing Farmer ('Andy') where are you when so needed .... Doh.
I may have to just like the idea of a Blaze v Tasar v Icon tussle this time as a bit of a side-show .... Blaze and Tasar are pretty close on PN and this year will be sharing the same start time as well. |

Icon 04 is packed up and ready to go to Sheppey. Definitely one other is planning to go (ironically its owner has the username 'Tasar' on this forum!) I'm sure if someone wanted to crew then Mike L could appear in '03'? So iGRF - plenty of competition for you! Looking forward to seeing you there..... Mike B.

Day passes issued, and 'the loaner' is packed up and ready to roll, just spent the last hour laying under the fully packed boat on its trailer re gluing the flushing strip on one side, we thought there was a tad too much water slopping up through the case.
So, you Tasars can get a good view of our Royal Dirty Northern b**tards sticker then, that is if I can't get a Royal Clean Southern Smoothies SC sticker to replace it. Just got to make some final adjustments to get the Hornet Spinnaker to hoist properly, it only needs to work one side so not too much of a drama.. Oh you weren't expect a fair fight were you?

Well that kind of decided it, the icon is only very slightly quicker and that was due to a good start by them, the Tasars pretty much matched them for speed with the quickest one getting by both of the two tail end icons but not the front runner and he only lost it over the water by sailing too high out of the swale into the medway. So one of those handicaps is wrong.
