Scottish Tiger Trophy

   Isnt the ideda with the Original tiger trophy that the Persuit race on the Sunday is non discardable so that no matterhow much people sample the sponors products the night before they have to get out of bed and race. (seems a good Idea to me - unless the wind has realy died like last yr which was quite anoying)

	lots of short races would be a great thing to have one day yes but i would say a pursuit race on the sunday as there is already a big once a year race arrond the island.

	i'm sure the skiffs would be interested in this sort of event, although the 2007 GP is in the planning stages now, so if you wanted it to be considered i'd put something on to the yahoo group pretty sharpish. Sten's idea of lots of short races, and a round the island sounds good to me, although he is right, it wouldn't be much fun in an oppie!

	Great idea, good venue might be best to spit the fleets on the water by dinghy/assy/cat instead of junior/youth and peolple that should sail cats. I would like to do lots of short races on Saturday 6? and round the Island on sunday weather permitting (maybe not in a oppi)

	i was going to say that thats probably your best bet for boosting numbers, try and see if you can combine it with the skiffs, the albacores, GP14s, for the youths send an invite to the toppers as i think there calander is already set in stone although i could be wrong. Lasers would bring a decent turn out but might not appreciate an open handicap catagory against other non-lasers.

	Thanks for the posts the concept is progressing well so fingers crossed we should be able to organise it for end of April next year. Another idea to add to the pot, is to combine it with scottish class travellers, e.g. albacore, Lasers etc. Is this a good idea? Any more comments much appreciated

	perfect location, perhaps on the saturday hold one warm up race fairly early followed by the pursuit race in the afternoon and then the 3 races back to back on the sunday as a club memeber i know there is sufficient scope for the black tie dinner followed by celidh or some such afterwards. Should be able to roud up plenty of skiffs and there are some active cat sailors at th club who i am sure can easily round up those from the multihull predisposition you shouldnt have a problem getting youths so ong as you do not clash with any topper traveller or laser traveller dates then you can pretty much gurantee on them coming. The only catch to it up here is if you want it to be a big event, get it organised quick so you can get the word around as all the big events up here always seem to be the best known ons, or ones people can plan for well in advance.

	We are looking into holding an event in aid of the JMST on the 21 /22 April 2007 at Largs SC. It will be the Scottish equivilent of the Tiger Trophy (Tartan Trophy). The plan so far is to have 3 courses; junior/youth, open dinghy, and cats all with cash prizes for anyone winning all the races. There will be a black tie dinner on the Sat evening. We want this event to appeal to as many Scottish sailors as possible so the questions are: Is the date about right? Is the location right? Would this type of event be of interest to you (Scottish or other UK sailors)? What format should the racing take; 3 handicap, 1 pursuit etc? Should there be a cash prize or should it be purely for the honour?! Should there be stuff organised for non-sailors during the event? Should the classes be split as suggested? Any thing else you think may help. We only have 5 months to get this off the ground so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
