It is a long series, we will see what happens. A lot can change in the Gold fleet. These shifty offshore winds are pretty strange and it is often the opposite to usual as the pressue has been falling, so the right has not been always been paying due to holes in the wind. I notice Iker Martinez and Marcus Baur have had a tough time too... and on course three I saw Robert Scheidt work his way from 20th to 2nd to last!

Can't find the list online but Finn Gold cup qualifying is based on a series of events. Each country has a number of entries based on how many class association subscriptions are paid. I think there is also a place for one rookie and the class secretary or something along those lines... Maybe he didn't qualify.

Looking at the classes where it is tight to call. So far Dobson looks good to be top Brit at the Worlds again, unless it is really windy for all the remaining races...

actually as an example of how to do it, look at this website

ok so it looks initially a little dull but it has a live event ticker, same day photies and videos...

Agreed the website is awful, theres hardly anything to look at, reports are short and boring and everything seems to be updated ages after the event!

I must admit I am not sure whether Nick qualified for the Worlds or not. The system to go to the Worlds is first past the post, so there is no politics there (although the RYA do reserve the right to send A & B funded sailors).

The truth is it would be almost unthinkable that he would beat Ed in Cascais....
