I bet the timing of the 3B Worlds has gone down well in P1 Towers.

I doubt the timing of a 3B Championship would bother them in the slightest! - they seem to be running their events on weekdays anyway, or maybe they're looking at last years calendar?

Big Dutch - As we will be attending most events by water it's a good job we're only going to three of them!

It might bother them when most of the safety boats that normally attend the Lymington Challenge decide to goto Torquay instead. But that's ok, after all there is never any problem in getting a big enough safety fleet together.
