If a team came over from here would we get discount on the ferry jacques?

[Big Dutch]

You could get a good discount on a Lovely hotel Scottyboy,one at Vazon with a Golfcourse ask Big Dog.
Yes we could book your travel too and have a word with Condor
Would you be fast enough though ?(i know Cliffy is !)

[scottyboy]

Wouldnt come in the V24. But it would be fast enough anyway lookin at the average speeds of the last race......!

"It would be fast enough anyway lookin at the average speeds of the last race"

Ooooh scotty! Takin pot shots!

Yes we can sort out high class low cost accomodation and good hospitality and a cheap ferry ticket for cliff because he is leading the v24 series, but I'm not sure condor let's the slower race boats on for such a good deal scotty hahahahahaha

[Night Nurse]

Dates depending and costs obviously we may also be interested in coming over with you Scotty, as long as Jaques could sort some good prices out! Also these races, are the drivers/nav required to have a form license from the RYA or anything?

And it wasnt a potshot jacques! I was purely saying looking at the average speeds of the last race i think that we would be fast enough if i was to bring a 3C boat over.

[Big V]

And a special thanks to Pete Berrow for coming over and setting my boat up, cheers pete!

You'd be quick enough in a 3B at the moment, especially with the handicap system!!

[Night Nurse]

Unfortunately im not allowed to any racing in the UK this year that is affiliated by the RYA or anyone, not even a basic will have to miss out this time but maybe next year we will come over for one! Otherwise would of loved to come over and race with you guys, would you have the relevant safety cover for a canopy boat?
Cheers

How come?

I believe at the mo we're not catering for canopies, that said i'm sure it's something we can discuss at tonight's meeting.

a 3B boat might be quick enough to beat you mate...

but a 3B boat would not beat me, frank, richard, chief, Kev B, Kev W, John R, Hugh etc

I didn't think any canopy boats are allowed in basic racing?
