AZAB

Came across these chaps Azores and back race, someone in my area is doing it. Might be worth picking brains.

I saw the AZAB a while back... but then read this:

"The Rules
The event will be governed by ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), ISAF Offshore Special Regulations (OSR) Category 1 and International Rules for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS), in force on 4th June 2011."

Kind of put me off a bit although there is something appealing to do it with two onboard (assuming you get on with them)

I'm doing the Azab 2011 two-handed.

Having worked through the Cat1 regulations I can understand why the Jester events are so attractive to the "average" sailor (with an average budget).
