It's a pretty big football field! But I can understand your trepidation. I probably won't be using the spinnaker again this year just because it makes it hard to see what's coming.

If you're sailing cat rigged you've got pretty good visibility, and it's just a matter of keeping a very good lookout at all times. If you're a sloop then it's the crews job (fault)!!!

The mark roundings can get a bit intense but you get used to staying out of the 'raft'. It always pays to go around the outside when there are 20+ boats all trying to get around the same mark. It's just more/different tactics

It's usually a very good weekend of sailing and socialising, at a time when not much else is happening. Also we've had a few drifters lately so there should be wind this time.....
