I agree with you Bill, it's a shame we're not getting the 'C' discussion here. I've been following it on SA and have to say it looks to me that there may be a resurgence of interest in the 'C's again (and very welcome too!)

I remember the early C class races at Thorpe Bay in Essex when I was a mere nipper! Boats like Lady Helmsman, Snark, Opus and Miss Nylex. Wonderful boats, exciting to watch (even better to sail I would guess).

It's a travesty that the yachting media haven't started drumming things up yet. I hope that they jump on the bandwagon soon......
