Not that it effects me but am I reading correctly that the Oppy British nationals were the same week as the Europeans?
Classic!

Happens more often than you think. Only selected boats can attend the Euros and Worlds, so only 5 boats miss the Nationals. Also for the last few years the Nationals has not been a squad selection event, so those missing it can still make winter squads.

Common place with large classes as there aren't enough weeks in summer!

clashes are inevitable, there's around 30 countries that might be considered 'European' in terms of classification ...

add in qualification processes etc for the euros / worlds in the larger classes ... havign your nationals the same week as euros or wourlds isn;t quite as much of a saga as it might seem ...
