A SWARM OF WASZPS FOR DATCHET FLYER

Online entry for the Datchet Flyer, and all others in the series, is available at www.sailjuiceseries.com

 

 

There are a number of big name entries on the list, and it will be interesting to see how former Series winners Roger Gilbert and Ben McGrane line up against each other. So potent together in a 505, this weekend they’re in separate boats. Gilbert has former 505 World Champion Ian Mitchell on trapeze while Osprey National Champion Ben McGrane teams up with James Ross crewing for him in the Osprey. Plenty of others to watch out for, and will this weekend be the opportunity for Tom Morris, this time crewed by James Curtis, to take the top step after just missing out on victory at the Fernhurst Books Draycote Dash to Sam Pascoe in his Musto Skiff?
