I'm not sure if there are any age limits in the P1 (Grand Prix of the Sea) series, but they do have a physical which is quite a bit harder than the standard one because of one of the older crew members having a heart attack and causing an accident - I think that is the sensible way of going about things - if someone is fit enough and still got enough marbles to drive a boat in a race why not let them?
Of course this seems to be political and personal above anything else, so I guess all of the above is irrelevant!

I feel Buzzi & Iacconianni need to mend bridges to have a happy conclusion.

Television
Due to additional support we can now advise that both the Cowes 100 & CTC will be filmed for a television package to be shown on SKY Sports and European networks.
The filming helicopter will be provided by Castle Air and flown by Keith Thompson.

think I saw on the news Richard Branson was going to prove at his coming 60th he was still in perfix nic better than ever by kite-surfing to France from ... err his home Necker Island  so be warned he may turn up to do the CTC with a kite surfer

Getting TV coverage has to be excellent news regardless of who's doing the flying/filming. Do you have an idea of what parts of the course they intend to cover John and how long they'll manage to be up?

1 hour flying time for Cowes 100 - 3 hours for CTC. I'll ping up the flight plan in due course.
