Entries are up to 26 now, with 12 Swallowboats. Those include Baycruiser 25 "Muddy Waters", which I certainly want to see close up. I can't afford a 25ft boat, I'm not sure I would even want one, but a Baycruiser I could stand up in would be a joy. A large cabin boat is hardly a typical raid boat, but I know they like to have a few larger, engined boats in the fleet, who can lend a hand and give a tow to some of the smaller boats, if they get becalmed or overwhelmed. There are at least two sub-four metre boats, and most have no engines, relying on oars alone. So the rescue ribs and a couple of "big buddies" might be quite welcome getting back from the Helford river if the wind dies down (or blows up). Interesting that to date there is not a single Drascombe entered. They used to be regarded as quintessential raid boats, but perhaps no more.
