Which Pub?

Saltiest - thinking about it. Depends if I can get a FSW to go fast downwind and not tailwalk all over the place.

Anyway, different course layout I am told, event village moved (for the better) but they are still talking about it all. Looks very exciting.

Be nice if they just put it back how it was before (finish at the other pub). Over the years they have tried a few different start formats (anyone else remember the "rabbit" start where you were supposed to pass behind a jetboat . Most of the fleet couldnt even get near it before the start time as it was upwind. Then the year they decided a single line would be good so some people were half way to Lano and had to go upwind to the first mark (I remember the long walk to find the start position but cant remember the race, too long ago).

I like the idea of party first and then sail to ledge, would be a challenge !
