To all who are Plymouth bound...excellent decision, best of luck and never forget the Institute of Marine Studies gave a honary to degree to Robert Maxwell (Not that you'll know who that is!)
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

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?

If they have a fleet of 6 RS200's then they sail together. 2 teams of 3 boats. What probably happens is that when they go to events they have one string of 200's and then another string of 2's or fireflys depending on how many teams have entered, how much space they have etc.

I prefer the idea of I14 team racing... they know the score

firstly im on the same course as ben and calum but ben i should warn you that strathclyde no longer have their 200's from what i hear. Thye sold them a long time ago. However i'm good m8s with the commodore of the glasgow sailign club and they are about to get a brand new fleet of fireflys for the new season. i've been weighing up the option all summer of which uni team to join as im sure your aware we can join either but i think im going to join glasgow as everyyear for the past 4 i have helped at SUSA and the glasgow team jsut seem to have so much more fun where as the strath team are very very elitest and DO NOT DRINK AT EVENTS! now what is that all about!
