    Ady...thats terrible. Really sorry mate. You have some taste of what you will be missing. Can't you go as 'ballast'??!
    To my memory, a 'ballast' that can row all night, shin up masts to do various things to sheets and eyes, make continous butties and mugs o'tea, stuff wet sails into bags upside down in the pitch black, row a dingy and generally fetch and carry on demand without whingeing would probably be THE most valuable asset after the fibreglass torture chamber otherwise known as a yacht.

    Re: Three Peaks Yacht Race

    Can I add this a possible opening.......one of the replacement runners for Wheeze and I has done his calf, what is it with replacement runners. Still hoping to do it though will have to make a decision soon. Potential opening therefore, watch and wait for now, let me know if interested and if Addy's slot has gone.

    I know but I'm committed this year to the DP BG on the 19th-20th.

    I passed on the info to Tom but he is now committed to work.
