For all of you who are desperate or just contemplating to get offshore this summer here is what Jester Challenge Organisers have prepared. If you are tempted - get it touch with the organisers. I am posting this on their behalf.

..............This would be the one-off Jester Fastnet Challenge!

A c.500 mile nautical jaunt along one of the most hallowed routes in offshore racing (though of course we won’t be racing), starting June 13^th. This could be sailed in four possible combinations: 

1. Plymouth/Fastnet/Plymouth 

2. Plymouth/Fastnet/Pwllheli 

3. Pwllheli/Fastnet/Pwllheli 

4. Pwllheli/Fastnet/Plymouth 

Take your pick! 

OK, it’s not ideal. In a way it’s Baltimore without the Baltimore. But it’s something, which is, after all, better than nothing............

For more 'options' and details see the file.
