The Merlin fleet is being represented by a championship crew. Which i think is great! shows its not only the helms that take the glory!

No not at all ... a single handed champ has to find a good crew to compete against the double handed champion set-up. For sure no-one will win this without a good crew.
Yes that is fair comment ... but I always thought that they would not accept an entry from a non-champion helm. Although crews of course deserve recognition.

I am sure most single handed champs are equally adept two handed boats after all.
Nick Craig, Jim Hunt, Andy Davis, Geoff Carveth to name a few can cope. |

Interesting that the first two asymmetric class helms (Feva & 2k) come from low-powered, slow asys who are used to soaking a lot of the time downwind, comparable probably to an Argo, especially on a F.3-4 day like today. I wonder if the others tried to heat things up too much.

Yes, last year's 'outstanding winner' was going to represent his favourite single-hander, until he discovered the timing ..... The event this time around having been unexpectedly brought forward in the year into half-term, and he's a commendably conscientious 'dad', so he declined the invitation. |

Burge, Mee, Dobson, Roome, Gillard ..... (in that order, after 8-races).
(i) There's a turn-up, that Gillard is not leading the pack ? (ii) Fireball is not specifically represented, ha-haaa ..... so what other Class have/are at least 4-of these helms prominent in ? Edited by OultonBen - 02 Nov 14 at 3:03pm |

This event used to be a Champion-of-Champions.
My personal straw-poll of Grown-Ups' classes which are represented, out of a list of eligible ones (~in my mind) gives a figure of only 21%. Then there's also the issue of barring runners-up, even where a Class champion is representing a different Class, while crews are permitted and anyone can take anyone else from the sailing world as 2nd in the boat. This year's programme of invitations resulted in a last minute struggle to get at least one of the current top-4 invited, but as late as early this week !
