Re: Was it the lack of height?

I thought that there was a lack of sail boats as well! Not that I really look much at them. I figured that it must have been because there is a lack of height at Excel compared with Earls Court? I guess they dont like removing all their masts!

I was surprised, but not displeased about the lack of sailing boats there. The atmosphere was completely different to SBS too but made a nice contrast.
