I swore at the outset, to myself, that I wasn't going to post on this thread. This is especially hard for me as pathetically bad spelling is, to me, like a red rag to a bull! This is especially true in the context of this particular thread.

Anyhow, I can't stop myself any longer. The more I've read (on here and SA), the more convinced I am that MJD hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of making this 'dream' work.

To mount such a series, in a place that noone ever seems to have heard of as a recognised sailing venue, without the megabucks backing of a major sponsor in the Volvo/Rolex league AND without acknowledged experts in this field to advise and guide is nothing short of some little wannabe indulging in his own private wet dream, but in public.

I am of the view that discussing this further on this forum, entertaining (in a car smash kind of way) as it is, is a complete waste of everyone's time.

Go away, little man!

My suggestion is.....land big tightle sponcer and try to ask Wurld Match Race Toor some questions.

While I am thinking of it, what type of post party celebrations, or any personal new ideas that would be of interest? what would you like to see go on should you be in a town or city, on an event for a one week period?

How about hosting it in a nice "warm" location? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> The Keys would be nice. But, alas, as I am just a regular sailor I won't be putting up money to fund the prize for the "hot shots". I normally look at the entry fees to be a donation to the "Sailing Clubs" that will host the event.

I believe that we read this and post because its a slow day and like mentioned before, its like passing a car wreck, you like/want to see the carnage.

Clayton

were you to actually pull off the race, then yes, video is a must.

Check out the video coverage on tybee500.com done by Mister Brian Karr and his vagabond groupies.

These sponsors are coming in nicely, I have no worries here, anything they put up for prizes will be over and above, thanks!

If you can't get enough U20s for this race, why not try the MacGregor 26X? It's probably the perfect boat for this kind of race...

OK, but have you asked the Toor any questions?

fourth or fifth mode?

I think the Mac26x is the way to go, I mean it goes like 20 something. There is no way an U20 can come close to beating it around the racecourse. The Mac can fit more people who can pay the entry fee too! What's up, you own a U20 or something? Making it easy for youself to win the cash money?

Absolutely! You could alternate laps under sail and under power! You can also award style points if somebody waterskis! Frank! Are you out there? Help us on this one!
