Welcome to the forum.

Can't help with any info I'm sorry to say, but could you pad your bio out a little bit? Are you the owner of an 8 mtr McGruer or thinking of buying one?

Bit late! The International Eight Metre Class held their World Championships on the Clyde this year fron RNCYC.

How about...

or

Hmmmm maybe


But I really think you mean an International Eight Metre CR - as in Cruiser Racer if you intend to do the west coast.

More like this?
