You would think that with the increase in handicap racing that there would be a decent handicap event on in the spring/summer. The Lord Birkett is the only one that springs to mind, and that's 8 hours from civilisation!

Other answer being, windsurfers dont come out of hybernation untill late spring and by running the events lete winter time means that the likes of you are still complaining about the cold and dont take part.

I may be there in the merlin, just need to make some new sails, sort out the rig, and convince the other half that winter sailing is a good idea!

Sensible answer time! Class circuits tend to run through the summer. Less people want to sail during the winter, and even less want to travel, so handicap racing is the answer to getting a big turnout from the remaining pool of fools. |

Well once upon a time there was this stigma attached to sailors, that we're
all gay! So we decided to prove how MANLY and 'ARD we all are and have the big events in the most horrible and coldest of times!! Edited by Doug.H |

What is it with this lark that decrees that all the good events be held in the
damn middle of winter?

Holding the Hoo Freezer on the same weekend as the Tiger Trophy seems a
bit of a novice mistake to make. My heart lies with the Hoo freezer, home waters an'all so I'll not be at the Tiger :-( Doug H Edited by Doug.H |
