Who's going to Wimbleball ?
« on: February 27, 2016, 09:00:11 AM »
Hi southern phantom athletes.
Only 3 weeks until our first battle of the year. As you know we have a joint open Saturday with the K1's that worked very well last year. And the Beastie on Sunday if you want 2 days racing. 
Me and Steve, light weight and heavy weight so shoreham have all wind conditions covered, will be there.
How many local boats ? and travelling sailors can organiser's expect?
I'm feeling confident for this series...

Sorry ...  cannot make Wimbleball this year due to other commitments but can confirm it is a good place to travel to with a warm welcome  .... even with its funny startline system  :-)  At least 1300 should know its way around there  :-)
