This subject was spoken about in detail when allocating the money.

The main reason for this is the numbers of the lady entrants. For example last year from memory we only had 5 women from approximately 170 competitors.

However if the women’s division grows over the years the prize money will increase for the women.

Hey Hards - is that if you win the women's races that you will donate the prize back into the prize pool

Hi Guys,

The best is to register early then you will get a better start position. Plus from our point of view we can get a lot more organized... which always helps.

However worst case you can register on the morning of the event.

You should come up no matter what the forecast as it will be the biggest classic in the 25 year history

See you all at the event.

All the best,

Rob

Hi Nebbian,

When did you sign up as it should be sorted now? As soon as you register you should now receive a confirmation.

If you can send me a personal email I will double check that you are locked in.

Sorry for the confusion I agree the process had problems.

Hopefully it is ok now.

Regards,

Rob

Hi Paul,

All your points are valid.

We need to have a balance of the Pro's and the weekend warriors. We need the Pro’s as they attract the Media which allows us to get coverage... which then allows us to get major sponsors... which then allows us to grow the event each year.

However I have definitely not forgotten the average sailor as I am one of them.

You can be assured we will look after the younger crew the enter the race. We also run a kids have a go day on the Sunday of the event which last year attracted 70 kids that had never Windsurfed before.

We also had to be careful with boosting the open division cash prizes as this then attracts some of the elites into that category as it would be easy money for them to win... which we think is unfair on the true Open sailors.

I am always open to suggestions and take them all on board thank you for your support it should be a great event.
