Just adding another option for the Global Challenge in any of the coming years.

Lake Como.

Greg Goodall had just been there for the F18 Europeans and he was very much impressed by the location and the predictability of the weather/winds. He thought it was better then lake Garda, a lake he knows from previous F18 and A-cat events. This too should be a place with 25 degrees temperatures or more during the summer time and that may well be why the wind is so predictable, it is thermal.

Also, as it is a lake there will not be much surf to worry about. Apparently the local lodging was inexpensive as well. This location may well be a good choice for the Global Challenge for any of the coming years. I'm sure alot of European crews (mostly UK, Netherlands and the area's adjacent) are willing to drive the extra miles to such a location.

For 2008 I think another "location" has been assigned already. I wonder why the GC hasn't publized the results of the AGM yet. Alot of questions floating around now will be answered by the info enclosed in this document.
