That's not a great help if you're from Oz. We called ourselves the F16 Circus due to our very chilled out attitude towards the Racing at Eastborne. We were amongst 2 V.Fast Capricorn Sailors and an extremely competitive Spitfire Class. Needless to say that some F16's didn't absorb either the S.I's or attended the Skippers Meeting this did lead to some confusion on the Race course. Other 16's got very close up and personal with the Committee boat, the PRO wasn't too sure if the Blade was an F16 and didn't score them in the right Fleet. Another 16 sailor arrived early Saturday morning, completed one race and then returned home back to London. He told his partner that he was just popping out!!!! (Brave man). Due to the Comedy of errors and a few pints on Saturday night it was agreed that the F16 United Kingdom Association (FUKA)for short should be amended to the F16 Circus.
