Neville,
I found the same thing last year at the Global Challenge at Zandvoort. We had people from all around the world and all of them were great to be around. With several days of the regatta blown out we all spent a lot of time together.
When each day was over we hit the town together and had a great time.

I hope the class continues to attract great people.

After all we are not sailing for sheep stations- so apart from the sailing it's the people and the party that really make the class.

Can't wait for a Global Challenge in the USA.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
