I would just like to say I have raced OCR for 5 Years and having had 15 or so stuffs plus 2 major big ones, in all cases i as the driver came off Much worse than any Nav.
You tend to find in an open cockpit boat that the steering wheel gets in the way upon EXIT!

The only way you get hurt in a 3C cat is if you turn over - even then you have to be unlucky!
It is an "armchair" ride.
This surely has to be a great experience / opportunity offered by A30 ?
All I can offer is my mate in Guernsey who would be happy to do the Worlds with you and provide a free bed for the week. (He has been thrown out of a Campbell Cat and knows the score!)
