The Dark Knight 678 #38 Posted April 25, 2020 So is anyone willing to speculate as to what shape the 2020 S2H will be in? Presumably social distancing restrictions will be eased by then, so maybe fully crewed boat can sail. Pre and post race gathering will possibly still face restrictions so maybe the CYCA might be forced to restrict the number of entries? Boats that had planned to enter this year might skip it due to the lack of crew training time or just to be cautious? Two handed division might perhaps get extra entries? and maybe the CYCA will introduce a 4 crew plus A/P crewing option (like ORCV has)? Any thoughts? Oh yeah, what is the forecast?
