I think Loch Ness is no being run in 2010

seems to me that both Round the Island and Loch Ness may be too much for uk to achieve each year .Is there any prospect of these two events becoming bi-annual one each year

Speaking for the Round the Island race. The numbers have not been great. Basically the event has failed to achieve the required numbers to make the event feasible, the event needs 60-70 boats to break even and has failed to make this. If 60 pre entries can be made the Im sure that Tek Group will consider running the event.

As for the Loch Ness race ...watch this space from what I have heard negotiations for the field are well advanced and hopefully will come to a succesful conclusion
