There will no doubt be more competitors enter once official entry form is published so some extra classes may gain enough entries to run. We may yet drop some of the open Oval events if we look like not having time to get through everything inside of 3 days

Looking at events we will need 2 1/2~3 racing days to get through everything.

Those planning to run P1,P2 P3 in mono and Tunnel hull classification will probably need 2 boats as we plan to mix racing through out the regatta.
For T1 and T2 we will run the 5 heats of t1 on first day/day and a half then T2 2nd and/or 3rd day to allow an overnight motor change
We will be able to run Sport petrol hydro, Petrol outrigger hydro and P2 hydro concurrently as one will not need an engine change just decide which boat to run in P2. P3 Hydro will be run on last day

Good Friday with be Registration, Compulsory Drivers briefing for ALL competitors, Possible AGM, Scrutineering and Noise testing during practice and testing that will be run class by class.
