Simon, I'm slightly with Mark on this one but think that part of the issue is trying to squeeze a quart into a pint pot; there are too many boats of varying speeds, abilities and sailing angles in too small a space, especially on the Sunday when the club racing takes place. I did the GP last December where there was much more space and came away with a much more positive attitude towards the club - with the exception of only one member of bar staff on duty serving all the faces they recognised ahead of some stranger from the country......
Thing is at the GP, there is an even greater spread of speeds!
As for some of the on the water issues, we are going to change the course a little which we HOPE will help!
We have the same PRO as last year and we are still discussing the finer points (2 hours of it tonight); it will still be W/L, but there may be some small differences!
