Does any one know how many new Ovington Speed boats are coming?

How many Hapco boats are coming? I presume Barney is bringing his new boat.

Now this is going to be a really interesting event with all these new sails from different lofts and new epxoy foam boats from either side of the pond. Fantastic

1 HAPCO boat (8122) - note HAPCO are vinylester rather than epoxy (but my chemistry is not good enough to know the differences).



6 Ovi Boats (8073,8128,8129,8130,8132 & 8133) plus possibly a display boat.



Note that at the Lyme Regis open the Polyester boats were as quick as the epoxy boats claiming 1,2&3 in one race with a different suit of sails on each.

Its Sunny & Windy here...Down South



***** Foxy Long range Forecast.. Largs Saturday - Tuesday *****



Winds 4-5 North westerly becoming southerly 3 later




Wednesday ----WET

Hi all weighing with boards in, if marginal then you can opt for a re-weigh (is that a word?) or put in some lead.



Cheers Derek

Hey TSF,

If it is any consolation I am in my office 27 miles from Largs and it is raining cats & dogs with NO breeze.



Hopefully arrangements have been made for the weather to be perfect from Saturday 14:30 onwards.



Have an quick and uneventful journey north.

All this talk of preperations & weighing



This is Un-fair some of us are still at work....!



TSF

Derek,

Are boats being weighed with centreboards in?

Official measurments start on Friday but I will be there on Thusday with some helpers (they don't know it yet)but I hope to get boats weighed asap. So Thursday will see the start! Probabely after lunch.



Cheers Derek

What time does the weighing station open?

I thought I would tell you my secret weapon is a 14 pound wieght reduction (from my stomach) and I have a very well rested liver.




Very much looking forward to the fun
