There are three practice races available on Thursday 30th July! So you never know you might be able to make at least one. I have a gut feeling that the courses are a straight forward windward/leeward course with the start finish line roughly half way up the beat and no leeward gate just a mark to be left on Port. However, this will be confirmed in the S.I's. This will be better for us F16 sailors as counting the the number of laps competed has proved to be difficult in the past!
