So, Nick Craig and Toby Lewis are top dogs in the Endeavour. Seems reasonable!

I think it's more than reasonable if you consider how different something like a Xenon is to an OK!

Did Nick not also win the 400 nationals among others this year - can't be that different to that can it?

I think what's more amazing is that a guy who holds down a normal full time job gets to go sailing so much and do bloody well at it and seems to have fun at the same time.

Well yes, but then he's won the 400 nationals more than once (and even the B14 nationals a few years back when it was decided on a single, four race, massively windy day)- a 400 is pretty similar to a Xenon.

Hardly ... he has won the 400 nationals many times a boat which is near identical to the Xenon ... yeah I know it's made of plastic but otherwise it is the same thing ...

Plus he's done this event so many times he's got the boat dialed in now ...

Also ... seems the top of this event was pretty similar to the survey monkey list so it seems everyone does know which classes are hot and which are noddy ...

He didn't nearly win the I14 Worlds as well this year. But Gilbert did. I got mixed up. As per usual!

That's quite a different boat to the Xenon.


Lets face it he can pretty much sail any dingo very well ...
