YachtsandYachting.com Forumites Open Meeting

   Love to have a go in the D1. Sailed the 100 over the summer a few times, so would be good to compare and contrast.

Will there be any time before racing on Saturday to try out any boats do you think, Rodney, if only for a few minutes?

	Make sure you get plenty of photos for us from afar to see how great the event went. I don't suppose you could rent a helicopter and film crew to stream the event?

	I was thinking of taking a bike trip down the lee and calling in, but I'm off to plymouth to play on the sea. Have fun! ( the road to Broxbourne is less rickety bridge/horror child, more like this) (ah wait, this is the right link)

	With less than 24hrs to go shall we have a bit of a punt on who is going to come where and see if any of the guesses are closer than for the endeavour... Looking at the forecast my bet is: 1st Phantom 2nd Punk 3rd Icon But maybe Russ is a Ben ainslie in hidding!

	Punk first, dan got a very good result on his py at the bloody Mary against very good phantom sailors much better than me. I don't know from the forum name who the other phantom sailor is...but I suspect I will when we meet up. I think that the icon in mikes hands with a ridiculously beneficial py might be there too. Then I reckon Rodney.
	Everything I say is my opinion, honest

	We plan to be there by 10.30. Anyone interested in sailing an X1 or an X0 before the racing (esp Phantom, D1 and Finn sailors who will be just the right weight...and of course Broxbourne SC members - Rodney, will be good if you could extend the invite to our hosts?) you are very welcome. Chris
