The first round of the 2009 UK F16 Traveler Trophy is getting near: 22/23 March at Datchet. First warning signal not before 11:55 Saturday. 3 races back to back Saturday and Sunday. 5 out of 6 races to count.

It is an open cat event, the F18 and the youth on Hobie Dragoon will be there for their respective TT as well, and we expect the usual assortment from other classes.

We will apparently also share the water with the Contenders as they have their TT as well. I don't know if they will be on a separate course or share part of the course with us (contenders are doing triangles, we do L/W).

I'll be there, I sure hope a bunch of you are going to show up. Time to get those boats out of the mothballs you hide them in at the beginning of the winter. I'm still miffed I was the only F16 showing up at the Winter Warm Up last month.

Hopefully will be there, have had a really poor winter regards to free time in the weekends so have missed the Winter Warm up event.

OK who is intending to turnup then, shall we book the local pub Mark, I guess we can organise beds locally if anyone wants a bed as its still fairly cold this time of year.

I posted a race report on the F16 class forum. I'm slowly uploading flash replay of the GPS tracks, I'm updating post #14 on the same thread as I do so.
