I do like the title though. "The 5 Ton Cup" sounds quite posh and yotty. Perhaps a handicap system worked by cost rather than (or as well as) performance :idea: Oh I like that idea; a minus or plus factor on the PY number (perhaps weighted in favour of cheaper boats) regarding the declare...

Haha - just found out that this boat used to belong to my little brother! Def got to get it now!

Gah! Still available (see below)

Yes, that is the biggest issue with this plan. I'd say that any buyout would happen at the end of a series, ie winter/spring/summer/autumn.

Haha, not cheap enough yet!

I see what you mean. You're right - it's the banger-racing principle that's the important thing, with the bar sat at whatever level. In truth, you could spend what you like on the boat, just so long as you remember that it can be compulsory-purchased for £xxx.....

I had an idea a while ago (I suspect similar has been discussed on here in the past) about a way to reinvigorate older, classic boat usage at our Club (Oxford SC).

A bitt new for here, but bit's being sold to continue funding my kids' racing, awith hopefully enough left to get me a late-ish model Lowrider Moth... B14 s/n 653, Rondar Epoxy construction, red hull with white decks. 3 jibs (fair, good, very good), 3 mains (fair, good, very good) one kite (not bad ...

Cor! SWMBO's not impressed, but kind of accepting, in a "rolling eyes" kind of way. Hmmm.

I just saw it on eBay ..... Could be tempted if I thought I wouldn't get battered by SWMBO.

Hello everyone. In our Sailing Club building at work (RAF Brize Norton, Oxon), is Int 14 s/n 516. It's been dry stored for at least the last 12 years and will obviously need fully refurbishing, but its a gorgeous bit of boating history. The owner left the RAF 5 years ago or so, and I need the space ...
