Great to have another competitor...as long as you are bigger than me! At 20 ft I think I am the smallest boat and therefore should be the slowest. Consequently no other competitor should be in a position to hit me up the a**** err I mean stern! Hope you don't drink all the beer before I get there.

If you are at the back you can be the safety boat!

Meldrum,

The Jester Challenge has no rules. And although some skippers that have nominated would not welcome a large boat, speaking for myself your boat at 30ft plus bowsprit and bumkin would be more than welcome. Contact Ewen Southby-Tailyour using the JC website and I'm sure you will receive the same answer. There is also a Yahoo Group for Jester Challenge participants and their friends and I'm sure there you would receive the same answer. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jesterchallenge/ You will need to ask to join this group to ask a question however. but that is not very hard and you will not get knocked back.
Our next race leaves on 31 May from Plymouth so you will need to move fast relatively.
