With 69 entries already down for the final event of the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series, and a number of boats in overall contention for the trophy, the Oxford Blue looks set for a warm and windy climax to the season...
The Seldén SailJuice Winter Series reaches its climax with the Oxford Blue this Saturday (18 February), and a warm and windy south-westerly beckons for the competitors from 31 (and counting...) different dinghy classes.

Currently, 7 of the top 10 currently are entered, including the Osprey of Pete Gray & Geoff Edwards as well as Ollie Groves & Martin Penty's RS400, both of which have a good chance of outright victory in the absence of Ben Flower who is abroad on Olympic Laser campaigning duties.

- Grafham GP - Osprey - Pete Gray & Geoff Edwards, Staunton Harold SC
- King George Gallop - Enterprise - Vincent Horey & Richard Abendstern, KGSC

- Enterprise
- Merlin Rocket
- Osprey
- RS Aero 5
- RS Aero 7
- RS Vareo
- RS200

The Oxford Blue is also the RS Aero Winter Championships, which is contributing to a good turnout from this singlehanded fleet.
