The Fernhurst Books Draycote Dash is set to get this season's eight-event Seldén SailJuice Winter Series off to a rip-roaring start, with a great weather forecast and a bumper entry of 109 boats representing 44 different dinghy, catamaran and keelboat classes. Ages of the competitors range from 11 to 76 years old.
Biggest entry numbers are for the various types of ILCA singlehanders, with a total of 25 across the three rig sizes. There are also nine RS Aeros and a whole smattering of single entries across a range of singlehanders including a K1 keelboat helmed by Simon Hawkes.
It's always good to see the three-hulled Challengers who have become regular participants on the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series. Regular Challenger competitor Val Millward even considers the Sailjuice fraternity as her 'family', as there are so many repeat customers from various classes they have all become very friendly with each other across the usual class divide.
