Is anyone on here wanting to do the Hythe and Saltwood SC annual long distance "Ship" race this sunday? The 600 is out of action and i want to do it but am lacking a boat and crew.

Also includes great bbq at the end included in the entry fee which i will cover.

not very long at all, more of a standard race and then a long reach down to the ship inn about 4 miles down the coast then BBQ then another reach back.... direction dependant.

I normally like long distance races but I don’t like the thought of having to drag my boat up the shingle beach for the BBQ, I am not surprised you don’t want to do it in your own boat!

i managed to break the 600 sail and it wont be back in time and the moth is still in bits, i may be buying a cheap phantom to do it in.
