I see the Endeavour clashs with the Olympic Classes National Ranking events this weekend. October sees the Qualification series for the 2007 Worlds which is the Olympic trials for most classes. This effectively means that no Olympic hopefuls can do the Endeavour (again)...

It also clashes with the SGP ... I believe they have 26 entries so I am sure the champion "amateurs" will enjoy the proceedings ... Rick |

Goody did it last year so it must be possible for some Olympic contenders to go? In any case although his presence was much trumpeted and I'm sure much appreciated he didn't actually win! Is a clash with SGP that important? Each class at the SGP only sends one rep EDIT(to the Endeavour) anyway and I'd have thought the opportunity to do the Endeavour - (a possibly only chance) would be more attractive than the SGP - which will probably run every year plus there's talk of having other events during the year and in any case the Fireballs will dominate! As the boat used for the Endeavour is a heavy, detuned version of the RS400, or a bigger version of the RS200, etc it's arguably those class champions that stand the best chance (or of course champions of other classes that sail these types regularly - like most of the recent winners). It also seems to help to be used to sitting out hard (ask the Cherub guys) Edited by Hector |

It is compusory for Skandia Team GBR members to do the Autumn Qualifiers this year (it is in their contract). Last year Goody had already qualified for the Worlds so could afford to miss an event. The only person allowed to go to the Endeavour is the UK National Champion (who is I believe in nearly every case a Skandia Team GRB member!!!) |

It is also the RS200, 600, 700 and 800 inlands this weekend. I suppose you can't get an event where it doesn't clash with some events.

That doesn't appear to be the case. Another popular sailing news website has a list of confirmed entries, not all of which are the 2006 national champions of the classes they represent. Mike |

Mike [/QUOTE] Any chance of posting the list of entries? If your national champion is not available, the Endeavour entry form states that you may nominate your World or European champion instead - not sure if that covers the dubiouis entries referred to Edited by furtive |
