uni

   Question for those whove done the whole uni team racing thing...

I checked up after TTs comment and strathclyde do run a fleet of 200s for team racing.

What happens when they race against other unis who seam to
predominantly use larks/fireflys/laser 2s? Im guessing they must borrow
boats... but then why spend all that money buying 200s to train in when
they are totaly different to the boats which will be raced?
