There's still time to enter this weekend's Datchet Flyer, the second event in this season's Seldén SailJuice Winter Series. Almost 80 boats from 38 different dinghy classes have already entered, with five Waszps among recent boats to sign up for the two-day event.

You can find out more about the Series, and enter events online at: www.SailJuiceSeries.com

There are a number of big name entries on the list, and it will be interesting to see how former Series winners Roger Gilbert and Ben McGrane line up against each other. So potent together in a 505, this weekend they're in separate boats. Gilbert has former 505 World Champion Ian Mitchell on trapeze while Osprey National Champion Ben McGrane teams up with James Ross crewing for him in the Osprey.

Plenty of others to watch out for, and will this weekend be the opportunity for Tom Morris, this time crewed by James Curtis, to take the top step after just missing out on victory at the Fernhurst Books Draycote Dash to Sam Pascoe in his Musto Skiff?
