My crew for this event is Liz, an old friend and very experienced Firefly sailor. This will be our 3rd Nationals together in my vintage Firefly 'Kong'. We also took part in the 2007 National Inland Championships and several Southwestern Championships which we won this year to our utter astonishment. See the report at http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/?article=146746Better get back to my sitting-out exercises now....
Hhurrgggg,

Good luck Ben, not only in the racing yet also for Liz putting up with your Skippering!
Actually started doing some prep this week (too late for the sit-ups/sit-outs though) ourselves, and realised just how far it is to the sailing area...!
Barney says boats will be released from the beach an hour to and hour & 20 minutes before the first start to allow enough time to get to the start, add a mile of beat into the picture & we are a long way from our usual sailing water dimensions, not to mention all that salt water stuff!
Very much looking forward to seeing everyone & celebrating Saskia's 50th birthday though!
