I've ordered one too. Whilst the main pictures are full of action, it's a bit of a shame that as far as I can see there are no coloured main pics of Admiral's Cup or Vintage boats racing. It is, after all a historical moment, which shall only come round again in ten years....

Mike,

also Sept and Nov have 3003 on the pages, both with Derek sailing the boat - the pics were taken years apart one at Thrapston and the other at Starcross. Interesting thought, does 3003 still count as an AC boat as its now got a double floor and black mast?

I believe it has to comply with the pre DB buoyancy rules to qualify as an AC boat, so no it is not.

Seems silly really, not much incentive to develop older boats...

Cheers

Mr December shows how close to an double bottom you  can get whilst still being an Admiral's Cupper!

PS if you like the Calendar then you'll really like the Dinghy Show stand next year!
