No - Coniston is very very picky about which boats can go - they turned down several who were not current race categories. They have an issue with being blocked by officails!

This *can* definately be launched at Salterns, *but* they would have to use the wheel crain I think!
James launced my bladerunner there last year, and it is the same length and weight as the fountain....

Didn't you find the b23 wasn't a strong enough layup for a 200? or have you had it strengthened?

I'm up for it, though because I have to travel the 40 miles to/from 'on my bottom', pissing rail, or a howling gale would stop me attending.
'2-XS-IF' is also up for it

Sadly the race boat will still be on its way back from Egypt - maybe up North in Coniston or wherever it is now!
