• Marathon 2011 Rules
• Join the Drivers Club – the voice and concerns for Marathon boats (new members for the committee wanted – fancy forwarding the class?)
• Presentation and meet the Clubs that are organising the events... give them your views on how to make your race enjoyable and exciting – what do you want?
• New section on ‘Boatmad’ designated to Marathon Class only – for information, results, gallery, race instructions, social events to be launched this will be access only no forum in this section.
• New ideas to be discussed for 2011:
The championship will consist of 5 rounds – the best 4 results from each boat will go forward thus giving flexibility to those who can’t make one of the rounds – or do them all and have a ‘Get out of Jail – Free’ card in case you break down.
The RYA have confirmed that there has to be 2 boats in a class to classify as a National Championship therefore in Marathon as there are so many classes and some with only 1 boat at present – John Puddifoot has suggested that a Handicap could be good to give an overall trophy for the Marathon Class thus all boats have an opportunity to compete. (National Class championships would still happen)
Looking forward to seeing you all whether you wish to compete or assist in the coming season...
Best regards
Fiona Pascoe
