 Topic: Battle of the classesPosted: 25 Sep 16 at 7:47am |

Not so dim that I cannot see the spectacle value but fail to see the logic in the wording of the promo. Am I the only person bored by class tribalism? This Sunday’s pursuit race, where various Dinghy Class Associations will Battle it out in front of the Southampton Boat Show crowds to find the best, is all set to be a classic event. With a record entry for the Southampton Boat Show of 41 boats across a wide cross section of Dinghy classes and types, and many Champions competing, it is likely to be a close Battle."

I believe most classes are only sending boats where people have indicated they are willing to attend.
No class tribalism here, things have moved on.

Excellent Jeffers, good on yer. I can see it as a showcase event and in theory the best sailors should and probably will come out on top but "the best class" ? No basis or reason for class bragging.
Got that of my chest, now going sailing.  Edited by Do Different - 25 Sep 16 at 9:23am |

Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly rivalry, surely?

It went a little beyond that in the early days between 2 single handed classes. Things are much more cordial these days....

How true and this forum has certainly mellowed since then! Having owned one of those classes I used to log on every few hours to view the carnage. |

Great Shame the FINN/ Europe report shows the reults but with Helms surnames only.
How old public school is that! Rowen Atkinson would have had a field day. I dont think this website or the magazine should accept reports like that.

It is info off the tracker, so put in to show how they did. Is there an official report anywhere? That I would expect to have full names.

I thought it was a great report, thanks Emma! I think it's great that people give up their time to contribute reports so we can keep in touch with the different events going on. It said "Results according to tracker, 90 minutes post datum". Possibly this was a clue that it wasn't produced by a wannabe schoolmaster. Have you contributed anything worth reading recently?
