Must be very frustrating to all the ORDA committe who spend countless hours to get a race on and that the entrants are low.
What to people want to get them out there racing.
Lets help these people ,lets have some ideas.

Simplify the classes back to basics !! An idea I had some time ago seems to be having a second airing, on the basis that it might not have been quite so daft after all. It does however involve a major reduction in overheads.
Any interested party is more than welcome to contact me for more info !!
Bob

Not just a second airing, maybe the logical, rational way forward.
Bring us all together nationally and get rid of these commercial classes.

Go on to the Round Ireland thread and everybody seems to be whingin about anything and everything,i agree,back to basics,everybody and any class of boat turns up on the day for a blast,if you pass scrutineering you re in,U.K.O.B.A. never had a problem with it years previously,i ran a 21 phantom on the mersey in amongst Follet Cars to port and Clarke Groups twin lambo cat to starboard and 40ish other boats hurtling all over the place at the same time,never won,but what a day,AY JIMME,BACK TO BASICS,put the rules where they belong,begins with A,4 letters.
