I always feel they are one of the things I SHOULD do while I still can, but never get round to it . Big smile
If I was to only do one , what would be the best experience? 
One caveat, please do not suggest the Draycote dash , as racing 4 races back in winter time is a experience I can do without Wink

I have made the mistake of doing other things on Saturday, now I have lost my 'ring fence' around Saturdays

It’s can happen quite quickly, sailing is a habit that can be lost easily. Smile
Luckily I have two other sailors in the house so it’s easy to keep Sunday ‘ ring fenced ‘ . LOL

The Bloody Mary always felt like an "event" and something different. The queuing ,the crowds (on the slips and at the leeward marks)all contributing to the atmosphere. Whereas the others tend to give better sailing but feel more ordinary.

The 800s will be using the Bloody Mary and Datchet Flyer as our 'development days' over winter. 

I have always thought that the Bloody Mary and the Tiger Trophies were the 'main events' 

Done the Datchet Flyer and Draycote dash before as well and had fun at both.
