Hi, don't tell my mum ! but it's official that I put my name down for the JC2010 .....http://www.jesterinfo.org/jc2010entrylist.html
There is a US entry from Bob Porter; if you read this Bob I would love to hear from you and compare plans and routes (considering southern/Azores passage) .....I've got the Navik to install (this winter), think original mast & rigging may need replacing after taking down and checking this winter; LED nav lights, solar panel, etc. etc. .....just as well it's four years away.
I won't bore you all now but hopefully the forum can be advice as the work progresses ! :=)
Cheers
Andrew
Andrew,
I am a US inquiry, not entry... I haven't even put my boat in the water since I bought it two years ago. Mostly a fantasy. If I wake some morning and decide I have had enough with my business and sell it, well then I may ppursue this. A passage, perhaps a qualifying passage, to Bermuda in two to three years is in the plans though.
I was the former owner of EIRA which was Val Howells Follkboat in the 1960 OSTAR.
I love this stuff.

Bob,
Well I've had my boat 12 months, and only sailed it 3 times singlehanded three times so I guess it's a fantasy for me as well at the moment......but you have to have objectives and dreams in life ! I'm off for a cruise around the Irish sea on the 30/09 which will be the first reasonable shakedown of the boat, bit late in the season over here but should be fun.
BTW, I was given Val Howells book 'Up that Particular Creek' for my birthday but not had time to read it yet.
All the best and I will follow the progress on your boat with added interest.
Cheers
Andrew
