	With the adoption of the Omega dont people think they might be desperate for anyone to turn out I am not sure people will be falling over themselves to spend a weekend sailing one!

	Pabs, I think the whole process is pretty subjective; it used to be 50 boats but since the UK dinghy scene has become so fragmented the number of "quality classes" with less than 50 entries has grown. So; I believe they just invite classes they consider worthy. For example the winner of the Finn nationals of 30 entries could be considered a top UK sailor, the winner of say "XXXX noddy class" from a fleet of 30 entries may not be ... Who knows how they decide which class is worthy; I have no idea and I wouldn't like to make that call. That said they can't have ALL national champions there as there won't be enough boats. I did the Endeavour Trophy some years ago for the Fireball and it was great fun ... if you get the chance grab it ... Rick

	They did a press release on The Daily Sail saying they where going to make it harder to enter, starting with the attendance tables ("... so winning your nationals against 15 other boats will not cut the mustard..") full piece at: http://www.thedailysail.com/ISM/articles.nsf/Features/E6FC20 174F1A65A480256F93002F5C88?OpenDocument&Page=1 It is on October 8/9 (same weekend as Weymouth Gold Series). contact: info@royalcorinthian.co.uk Edited by Jon Emmett

	I thought you needed to win a class with more than 50 entries?
