I hoping to do both In FS

Originally posted by Villan I'd certainly still call it racing. You are starting, are you not? Sailing the course? I was at the back of a long procession last year ( finished about 120th iirc ) in a Laser 2000 .. But spent a lot of time in the company of a Moth, some Lasers, a Laser 3k, a Tazar ... Etc Etc. Is it only worth taking part if you have a boat that will keep you at the front of the fleet, or what if you are doing it for fun? Remember .. A National 12 won last year .. beating brand new I14s / 49ers / Mustos ... Who says a Mirror cant win given the right circumstances + conditions?

you mean 159th but we certainly were around a mixture of boats all there for  laugh... i seem to remember having a chat with the Tazer for most of the race.

bring on Bloody Mary 08 in the 5000

Adds ... Anything slower than a topper can still race, just its on a Toppers PY

BM: Mirror 64799 (probably the only one there )

Tiger Trophy: Fireball 13013

First year I'll actually be getting to the BM, I've planned to do so the last few years, first there was snow, then there was fog... no excuse this time!
