I think its great, but i agree with the number cap.  I beleive the fact you have to be a regular poster to compete would make it a friendcly enjoyable event.  We already have enough competitive handicap opens.  This event looks set to be fun and friendly.  Spot on Rodney.
 
As for me in a Finn, its a bucket list thing....and how hard can it be?  Now Ben is giving up there is an opening, i would only be 35 by Rio.

I would suggest the biggest problem with this event in coming years may be its size, there are lots of us with far too much to say who will turn up. Two boats per class won't stop the numbers we will just acquire obscure boats to get a way in. I think Rodney has a growing event, it would be good if the venue were chosen on the basis of food, drink and accomodation with sailing a distant fourth. Is this becoming my dream rugby tour with sailing?

Thanks for that  Smile

What I would like to do is get a list of suggested host clubs together, including Blackwater sc, and get an online vote for next year's event.  I am sure that this year's event will be a great success and that we will want to do this on an annual basis.  If people can put forward their suggestions we can put it to the vote.  Let's start with:
