I might well need my satnav as I last sailed there in an Enterprise open meeting back in the 70's (that's 1970's before you ask).

I am bringing the megabyte. I am going to try to bring the lowrider too, but it did the moth thing and exploded into several parts just recently and I may not be able to rebuild it in time.
I would like a fried egg sandwich not a bacon butty please. |

So have you got a pass Graeme? Might be tempted to come down but not travelling 3-4 hrs unless there's some serious butt kicking opportunities.

And if I do come down, it would save no end of hassle and driving time if I could borrow a boat. So how much would I have to weigh to be suitable for one of the 'spare' boats (D1 or Finn)?

Hi Keith, Sorry but all the slots for D-Ones and Finns have now been taken. If anything changes I will let you know but I think that these are the only classes with a full house. We have me sailing a Finn and I am bringing a second one for Russ plus Finnatic from Yorkshire. 3 D-Ones are booked in with Charlie, Keith and Mark racing them.
If racing finishes early enough on the Saturday I am happy to let people have a go in a Finn or a D-One. Can someone confirm how many Icons are booked in to race? If it's only two I may be able to get a third one there for someone to use, depending on logistics.

Having just done the Round Sheppey race, it is evident to me that those who sleep with a roof over their head are at a distinct advantage over those who camp. Any chance of a 20 point bonus for those in tents over those in B&B's and pikey camper vans?

Hi Peaky
But you did not stay in our 'B&B' ... one of the most disappointing, noisy and simply crappy at any price I've ever stayed at ! If we stay 'local' again it might well be camping ! BTW we did notice you make at least 2 wrong turns on your way back home as you kept shooting out in front of us at random junctions and then haring off again .... presumably your GPS also got a bad nights sleep ! But I like your logic for the Forumites meeting all the same .. Mike L. PS - But at least you did get round this year so it could not have been that bad ![]() Edited by blaze720 - 02 Sep 12 at 9:21am |

I was rather hoping you didn't notice me the second time! My driving is much like my sailing...
No crew to bugger things up this time . Hope youve got room on the mantelpiece for all that silverware!
