G. Ruesink will be sailing with K. Weeda.

And what is with the 2 unnamend Stealths from the UK ?

I know Greg told some of us that he will be over with 3 Vipers and I hope he is succesful at that. But an evaluation of the chances predicts ... .... Afterall, we are down to three weeks till the start of the event.

The second Aussie Blade fell through too. To bad I would have loved to see Gary Maskiel give us a good beating on the course. So far he is the only one of us to have finished in front of Greg Goodall. We sure could have used his skills in this event.

To bad we had to loose our Norwegian and Finnish entries as well. That would have put us at 20 boats and provide us with nice portfolio of participating nations.

And that leaves me as the only homebuild entry ! I'm not sure if I can carry such a responsibility on my own !

Also a small pitty to see that none of the Swiss and German F16's/Taipans could be attracted to this event. Maybe John can still be persuaded to drive over from Switzerland ? And bring a few fellow Swiss Taipan sailors ?


Anyway, I'll be seeing everybody in 3 weeks !
