None of these guys racing this year ...

On his closest Endeavour rivals?

There have been many all with very different sailing styles, which is what makes it so interesting. I think Jim Hunt, Geoff Carveth and Roger Gilbert have been the most consistent performers over the years with James Peters and Ben Saxton hugely impressive over the last few years.

9 entries from the RS stable (I assume the Vareo and Feva are still RS boats) perhaps LDC will be sponsoring next year ;-)

Most worrying aspect is that Mr Chandler doesn't appear to have a crew, please do not let it be the demo donkey. We'll never hear the end of it...

No Mate, given that i was his crew for a number of years i thought it was a given.  Alas even at my now spritely weight of 85kg I am apparently too heavy to be his crew.Its all rather hurtfull if truth be told.  When you are as handsome as I, rejection is not something yo become accustomed too.  I am not bitter, i just hope he loses by a significant margin.

on a serious note, how does it work for single handers?  The crew listed doesn't appear in the results of the nationals, so no idea what connection he has to the RS100 class(es).

Do you have to have a crew from the same class even?

As i understand it its down to the helm.  I know Steve Bolland used a mate from his club the last few times he raced.  I agree james it should be another member of the fleet.  That would of given me an even greater chance of going. 
Been through thick and thin with Chandler, you would of thought he would of dusted his old crew off, but no he is just going to try and find someone better.  The worse thing is he isnt even being two faced about it.  He just said i was too fat.  I am the lightest and fitest i have been for years.  I wish he had of just called one of my children ugly.  That would of hurtless.
