The 1/4 tonners will be racing at the Poole Regatta 2008 (end May bank holiday weekend). Minx will be there, hopefully Chuckles Too. The 1/4 tonners will be racing under IRC handicap. There is a local handicap for non-IRC classes.

I might be interested in entering, About how many quarter tonners entered last year?

Adrian, the Poole Regatta is every other year so no 1/4 tonners last time. At the 1/4 ton cup in Cowes last year there were 27 boats, alas Minx was the only GK24. Hopefully a good percentage of the 1/4 tonners will turn up as most are Solent based maybe even some more GK24? They do race under IRC as there were three generations of 1/4 tonner so you need a IRC certificate. Currently the 1/4 tonners are probably down under IRC class 2 for the Poole Regatta but I assume if sufficient numbers then we will get a separate start.
