How many Buzzes are planning to come for the Eurocup?
I am not sure if I will sail my Buzz or my brother's ISO (ISO was the plan, but rigging the boat is taking more than planned, so we may decide to sail the buzz again).
Another Italian Buzz may be present, how many of you folks?
See you in Malcesine

How on earth is it taking you so long to rig your ISO Paolo!? |

Basically, work and family are taking 105% of my brother's time... we managed sailing the ISO only once! Now we finally know whcih ropes are too long or too short, and hopefully we can sort out/replace things faster.
However, any time Debora is available Buzz 452 is sailing... too bad she can't make it on Garda!
See you soon |

Hi Pete,
it is only tactic !!!
last year I sailed the buzz only 3 times before Eurocup ad I think we did pretty well.
That's why I decided not to sail much this year with ISO before EC...
Instict (and a few beers) can take me in the front part of the fleet, it is when my brain gets the time to start thinking that I'm sure to be on the wrong side, hoisting the wrong sails, ....

I can't believe only Chris H is planning to come... so who else?
I need to have some numbers so I can start thinking to some social event such as last year's Buzz dinner party!

Roger & Penny (Buzz 987) are not coming this year I'm afraid. Not enough time, holiday, money etc. etc.

Surely you guys aren't going to let Chris H be the only Buzz in Garda. His is the only Buzz entry form received so far. |

I would love to come, but i dont have a tow and my parents dont have the money to get there, or even if i could hitch a ride on a double trailer i can't get down there. But hopefully will be there next year when i can drive and buy a car with a tow and drive down to garda |

Will we see you at Falmouth instead? Camping is cheap, you just need to get you + crew + boat down there. It may be worth asking for a lift - not sure where you are based but somebody in your area may have space.......

i would love to but i might be going on a sailing course down in southampton on those day. I am based at Chew Valley, if anyone does have any space on a trailer for a buzz, could they let me know cause the course hasnt been confirmed. If not i will definately be there in spirit and will be there next year whatever! |

You'll learn far more taking part in the Nationals - and I bet it will work out cheaper!! |

People learn an awful lot by just taking part in events, nationals or not. I am sure the Buzz Class will have arranged for a pro-am league for the nationals - with good prizes just like the ISO fleet will!
Pro-am is where the results after the first day, are used to partner up the top guys with the bottom guys. The top teach the bottom partners and the pair with the lowest score at the end of the weekend win prizes.
All very educational!
