I just phoned Dacosta - he has been out of the news loop - thought Dover was next weekend - It reads bad - genuine unfortunate mistake.

I have just been informed of what happened over the weekend so the 'spare seat' comment would look out of place...
My apologies if its out of context, but read the thread and it makes sense
This is a genuine PM sent on 29th July
Hi Buddy,
Just read your post re racing. I might have a spare seat for a race in two weeks at dover. If I can help, send me a message with your number and will have a chat.
Regards
*user*

I make good tea and coffee too

p1
not quite sure, but there was more to that PM I posted, I chose the relevent bits. But, I've not heard from him since the PM anyway.
I might just try and find a crappy old race boat and fix it up, though I've got access to a phatcat I might be able to borrow for an event, so I will just have to see
