Welcome to the Jester Challenge forum

Mountain climbers , pot holers , hang glider pilots and free fall parachutists ? . What about ordinary motorists ? . Look at the safety regs applied to them these days ! . Personally I prefer the old school ways and ignoring the safety prats and go for the idea of the old school ideas of looking after yourself ! .

Notice to Participating Skippers of JAC 08.

My name is John Llewellin, I live in Pembrokeshire and my boat, ‘Green Jacket’ @ 32’ is over length for the JAC 08.

All I would like to do is follow you all and enjoy the Azores Challenge and when I arrive (If you haven’t all departed!), share a beer or two and swap some stories with like-minded people.

If you have any strong feelings against ‘Green Jacket’ entering the JAC 08 (which I fully understand), please express them on the forum.

If there is a wave against my entry, I will sail directly from Milford Haven, with no hard feelings and withdraw my entry from JAC 08 with regrets.

John, I can't imagine there'd be any problem at all. Just put your entry in and come along. To be barred,something like 30 skippers would have to say they don't want you in the Challenge. That's not going to happen. There are already bigger boats entered. We hate rules and nitpicking. Go for it.

Thankyou Roger, that is very encouraging. I will make every effort to be there.

John.

Bonjour
The non-rules are explicit. The 30' limit is dependant of the size of the foot (like the various tons or gallons). The spirit is more important than the real lenght.
As consequence you may register and, as Mingming, I would be very surprised if anyone had an objection.
Please register!

Here Here!

Speaking as one with different sized feet, I agree with Eric.

Register!

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.
