Passage racing is a kind of cross between a raid and a long distance race, but generaly shorter. I dont think there are many (if any) of them run in this country but the few bits ive heard about them sound like a top idea.

Start at point A, mission it down to point B, then possibly back to point A again. Could be run as a handicap event, or even better: a freestyle. Anything goes...
anyone fancy lending me a 49er rig and some 18ft skiff racks for the cherub?

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
