After a long wait for the prizegiving (you don't need to wait for that, of course), they gave me the Medium instead of the appropriate Fast trophy a couple of years back... The welcome P&O vouchers were the same for both, though. As we all agree, a great and unique event. |

Tasars and Icons should be in the same start group at the Sheppey race ... 'fast' is anything under PN1030 from memory at IOSSC .. so this year they can both enjoy the watchdul attention of the Blazes as they should feature in this group start as well for the first time.
'Dancing Farmer' is still fiddling around in the fields when he should be in Icon '03' .. so it will probably be the Blaze for me as well .. or a 'Fire' just maybe as at least one other will also be there. Whatever your ride - enjoy it don't just talk about it perhaps. ![]() We'll be watching you there for a while one way or another.... Mike L. PS - The race organisers should be applauded. It is a unique event and given the logistics of the course they do a really fantastic job.... I must have done at least 15 now over the years on Boards, in Asymetrics and of course in the Blaze (wings/leverage/trapeze does help !). The sponsorship is great and anyone, even me cannot made a course mistake .. just do not risk being OCS though ! And don't even think about pumping you will simply die ... we've laughed at a few who do insist on doing it .... they rarely last the first couple of hours. This really is not some 40 minute can race. Edited by blaze720 - 28 Aug 14 at 11:29am |

Mike
I still want to borrow 03 as discussed but having problems getting to pick it up at weekends, i will phone/ e mail. I also would not want to sail in such a public event without having got to grips with the basics. With all the great Icon publicity you are getting at the moment the last thing you want is a muppet performance in the public eye!!!
watching Guru 9km and 27km resolutions which are normally good
