Yep: they have finally given up on the 1 race a day week long format, good for them as it is clearly more popular but coupled with that I am sure they have made a huge effort to get entries.

A revival for the class would need to see bigger open meeting attendance, club racing fleets and health boat building numbers ...



rarley one race a day rick, maybe in the 1 burton that you did, but if youd of sailed the 12 a little longer.....

OK, mostly one race a day. two races, two days of the week.

You can hardly pick on Rick for that...

Im afraid my money is gonna have to be on Mr Richards for this one. From what ive seen of his new twelve it is seriously fast and hes not exactly a cruddy sailor.

Ive never really had an intrest in the 12s until now. is there anyone else who we should look out for? anyone that can spoil his moment?

The 14's still go with the one race a day format and seem to be going fairly strong as well ...

they won last year right?

how many other twelves are running with t-foil rudders now? how about trim tabs on the centreboard? that seems to provide a massive increase in speed

It will be very interesting to see how Jo goes ...

Even if he wins we will still not know if the boat is any good ...

why not? compared to his old 12 its in a different league. upwind it is alot faster than a 400 his other 12 could not get close to that speed

surely if he wins it proves his boat is good enough?
