phantom/solution

i didnt think supernovas had very big fleets. or am i wrong?

According to their web site they had 30 this year. You do have to be *very* careful about making direct comparisons year on year because venue makes so much difference to turnout. Now I don't know where Supernovas are and who sails them, but in my days in Cherubs I would have said that against a maximum popularity venue/date that Wales was worth minus 10% and June minus 15%, maybe more. For Supernovas that might be quite different of course.

I think classes do need to go to different places though and accept that some years will be worse than others. So it would be good if the Nationals turnout page showed venue and date if its to be a good indicator of current popularity.

I'm not involved with the class now, so this could be nonsense, but, for instance, I'd expect this year's Cherub champs to be well down on numbers because people won't travel to Scotland, even though the date is good. It doesn't mean the class shouldn't go there though, and I think all the Cherub sailors here should make a special effort to go in order to prove me wrong!

Im hopefully going, it is supposed to be a great venue. We've got a SSR GP event at Largo this weekend so ill let you know!

(IMO) no-one would dismiss a boat on a comment like this unless they agreed with it. I don't have a personal grudge about the boat, I think it's ok but no more (a bit lame is a fair approximation of that). This is my opinion. I stick by it and you can accept it or not, I don't really care.

Thats what I wanted to say in the end but couldnt be arsed anymore
