Actually I don't really know, as usual we plan to race starting 20:00 UTC vs H²O.
Now, IF we get 2-3 boats on the water, WHEN we do we are happy to race on short notice.
We could confirm formally only later (today)the 26th, but that would be (presumably) too late for the 26th.
I suggest to leave it open. If true H²O should have 7 boats on the water tonight.. and some ad-hoc VTC racing should be possible. (I reckon ca. 60 minutes for a challenge) Actually there may be other teams joining too..
