Is this becoming a trend?
Seems that having a stern word with 'er indoors isn't enough nowadays...

Actually - The V24's want him *not* to enter so he can provide safety cover for us in TorBay....

Yes - Twice.
Once to you lot and once to the P1 guys. ( who have returned a cheque )
Hopefully that will sort it.
Still not listed on the Poker run, despite talking to Gill and confirming she had my deposit the end of May, so I am guessing you just work slow.

As I explained to you in the PM's I have nowhere to put the liferaft - the bit behind the navigator has a tiny little trap door and is full of electrics and fuel tank, and if you put it on one side that won't work - the only other place is under the foredeck and if I need it in a hurry it won't be accessible. 
I have nothing against the rules, and they make sense for a long distance race with limited safety cover, it's just that my boat was designed and built for races that don't need a liferaft!

Why's that? After all, it's only to satisfy the regs.

Mike doesn't seem to have any details of your entry.
Could it be a conspiracy?

Does the liferaft have to be in place at the end of the race?

eeeerrrr, yeah, I know, it was a joke.
with this, and the apalling failure of my humour in this thread, I think maybe I should give up on trying to be funny.
It clearly doesn't suit me.

I don't think Cookie wants, nor intends racing the CTC event. The liferaft thing is I believe, a convienient excuse. If he really wanted to do it, this would be a minor problem that he would overcome without too much fuss, probably without even mentioning it.
Before the liferaft, it was the auxiliary engine remember.
