Anyone got a weather forecast ?
There will be wind.

Varying from 0-100 knots.

There will be current. Going either N, S, E and or W.

There shouldn't be anything relating to my image. But who knows.

will rambler 100 be able to join in this year?
It isn't 100 anymore.

after fastnet isn't it just Rambler 90 now?

At least RP tends to think so

Wild Oats to be back next year

End of media coverage, thanks for coming to the Wild Oats show, see you next year! (or copy paste this).

 
Will the forecast favour the quicker or slower boats. It would be useful to start optimising the rating now.

I understand sunfish can influence Aussie yacht races. Any news on their migration patterns.
