Exactly- and if anyone is worried about not enough space for their boat, then frankly; they're missing the point.

Dan bring the 800- f**k it.

Well said Rupert and Jimbo, People are kind of missing the point of the whole event.  The racing is secondry, the fun is the main thing.  I can think of nothing funnier then seeing fast boats on a small lake.

Dignity...? Hmm one thing that you can leave safely at home for the FOM.

Sorry I still think seeing mark dancing dressed as a green bottle in the gents changing room while drinking jimbos rum was funnier

I seriously hope that by next September I'll be sailing an RS800, otherwise I'll have spent an entire season trying to sell my boat, and missed some of the best sailing for fear of breaking it when some buyer will inevitably come along, it's Sod's law.
