For sure their web presence could be improved. But you have to take into account that UKOPRA is a small, minimally funded organisation run by volunteers, its in its infancy and already we're seeing an improvement since the RYA released its vice like grip.

I had not appreciated that, I kinda assumed it would all be pretty slick. That must be why they’ve tried so hard not to piss the entrants off, and yet left the Italians threatening to pull out. I don’t know how much Silverline was underweight but everything else RB told me was 100% correct it seems. These kind of disputes are always acrimonious.

nothing on Island Echo website nor County News that I could find. Was it a virtual race or maybe a wholly different island?

I’ll check my water supply for LSD, but pretty sure we saw them go by Fort Vic. Tommy and Silverline exchanging the lead there.

The sandy haired guy in the Italian race suit, extreme left front, is my neighbour.

he was really close had to edit the end as I said how xxxxxx close was he.
I was in line with a load of other boats so wasn’t just me he was close to, if I was watching from the bow I could av trimmed the motors on his way past ?
