We should have a quaich as the prize for the fastest BayRaider, to get interest going.

PS It finishes on Saturday 1st June

I have added an events calendar to the web site and included these events. That gives quite a nice interface to see all these events. Post further events here and I will add them to the calendar.

Following on from the above, Swallow Boats have generously agreed to sponsor a special prize (a quaich) for the fastest overall BayRaider 20 (either model) during Sail Caledonia 2013.

The race rules of Sail Caledonia -at present- value the results of the canal rowing races relatively higher than the results of the long sail & oar races.

Unless it is masquerading as something else, I think Raid Finland (shown in the events directory as starting on 14 July) is unlikely to happen this year.  The original website http://www.raidfinland.com/ seems to have been taken over by trolls.  And a Google search on 'Raid Finland 2012' offers two references to this association's listing and that's about it.

Hmmmm, that web site doesn't look healthy! I have added a note on the Raid Finland calendar entry about this and also included the organiser's contact details.
