The first round of the 2009 UK F16 Traveler Trophy is getting near: 22/23 March at Datchet. First warning signal not before 11:55 Saturday. 3 races back to back Saturday and Sunday. 5 out of 6 races to count.

It is an open cat event, the F18 and the youth on Hobie Dragoon will be there for their respective TT as well, and we expect the usual assortment from other classes.

We will apparently also share the water with the Contenders as they have their TT as well. I don't know if they will be on a separate course or share part of the course with us (contenders are doing triangles, we do L/W).

I'll be there, I sure hope a bunch of you are going to show up. Time to get those boats out of the mothballs you hide them in at the beginning of the winter. I'm still miffed I was the only F16 showing up at the Winter Warm Up last month.
