Just a small point but how can a national class hold a european event?!?! The 18's are sailed in Scotland, England and Ireland but as far as I know no where else in Europe. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it their nationals that are being held there? ------------- http://www.highlandtopper.com - For Topper boats & spares in Scotland-highlandtopper.com |

Close but no coconut ..... Ireland is not part of Great Britain or the
UK, unless Mr Blair has changed everything again and wants to tax it,
it is part of Europe. Hence the European Championships. Any way all
that matters to me is that I get to ride around in a nice big boat for
a whole week - wooohoooooooooo!!  |
