nic

hiya nic,on the subject of courses,i dont see how we can have the big courses you are objecting to as the clubs do not have enough safety boats to cover large courses and i think bobs tiny course is to small,so a compromise has to be made,the french seem to have it right ,not to small,but big enough to get the boats going and in view of the public

It works so well because everyone's a speed freak and you only have one club to race with . I would love to come back and race a season again. Why we can't just do the same amazes me completely. this year I refuse to buy a season license and will probably only do one race as a driver and one as a nav . I hate to say it but its not worth the effort for competitors and clubs. I will lend a hand to any club as safety boat or diver or anything else that they may need so please just ask me .
All the best everyone and hope it turns around one day soon

Depends on how big wallet you have

Mostly we use H.O, Pro XS but some uses old Optimaxes cus of the price.
From 2014 you HAVE to use EPA/CARB engines. So no more old EFI´s.
