Battle of the classes at Southampton Boat Show

Post by Gordon »

Hi Guys

Just found out about this, but there's a pursuit race being held as part of the Southampton Boat Show.
Just 2 entries from each class.

If any one fancies having a go, here's the link and the entry: http://battle.sailracer.org/eventsites/ ... 1551&templ

Hi

I'll give it a go, anyone else interested, I'll email Brian to see if we can get some sponsorship.

If there is more than two people wanting to give it a go I suggest we pull names out of the hat as it is only for two per class, unless we can enter two in u a rig and two in Sport mode

It would be good if we could fit a Sprint 15 with a Grattage.

Is there anyone interested in promoting the Sprint 15 at this event, it looks like I cant do it, may be Stokes Bay is a good place to chat about it.

Brian has said he will pay for Sprint 15 stickers for the sails but we will need to organise the production.

Thanks

Entries have been closed with no warning and I didn't get mine in so I won't be attending unfortunately.

Probably no matter as other websites indicate cats were not allowed.

That explains why David Lloyd's Dart 18, the A class and Unicorn have also disappeared from the entry list

Looks like good news to me.
