How about that, the Vago heading the GP & Merlin reps?!  Must be down to some expertise at sailing hulls that mould themselves to the waves...

Trotter should do well as he is sailing with fellow northerner Graham vials. Graham has done the endeavour trophy a lot of times and is an ex team GBR squad sailor in the 470.

Don’t think they will win but should be in the top group as it is going to be windy and sailing one of those things should be a lot easier than the musto skiff and foiling moths they normally sail.

Think it will be Nick Craig who will win.

It wasnt due to a class dropping out oddly enough. I was on the 12 stand at the time when the nice lady came around presenting the new endeavour and happened to be with Ben and she couldnt really not invite them too... Especially being a Burnham bod!

Rumour has it that being on the spot when another class announced they weren't going to come was of assistance.

for the Skiffs Rick and yes, 19 I believe for the Cherubs, same as last year I think.  However as the Cherubs went last year I guess it's quite a low number, or perhaps they have changed the rules to ensure only the very best go (no offence Ben & Darryl!!)

Not even arguably: definitely.

How many boats entered the 12ft Skiff Nationals ?

I see the Cherubs had 19 - is that correct?

Rick

PS - I guess there is some rule otherwise there would be a 100+ boat fleet at the event looking at this ...

I suppose if it's a size of fleet thing then fair enough as they are paying for a load of boats that are suddenly no longer "new".  However still be good to know what they are.

PS yes yes I know that if Tom and I had an invite we'd probably get an absolute first class right royal pasting with bells on!!!
