Wanna play?

Well to be honest we're just working out what to do next. Some of the crew that took her to the Fastnet Rock (Bernie, Alan, Oliver, Brambles, Graham & David) will definitely be continuing and Dan who had to prioritise the European Space programme over Brightwork (I mean honestly) needs consoling with a new offshore challenge. But given how few people in the UK have cottoned on to the fun and games of Open 30's we are on the look out for a couple more to join the core crew.

Here's a few possibilities of what the future may hold - we might try for the Round Britain & Ireland 2006, Bernie's keen on the idea of the AZAB 2007 (with whom?... the rest of the crew ask) and there's always the Channel Triangle to consider. The longer term might include some Cat 1 stuff but there are serious conversations with the boat's builder (Simon Rogers) to be had before we decide on that sort of stuff (Melbourne-Osaka, yes Simon we know you think it's a good idea!). You'll note that there's no cans racing in here and little mention of cross channel hops...not to say we won't do them but they're a means to an ends not an ends in themselves (what with the prevailing SW on the nose for most of the channel stuff and silly upwind stuff all over the place in cans racing).
