Runners and riders will appear here - and in print on the notice boards.

Lady Virginia of Keynsham Also known as Poppy. Hayley and Roland are prime contenders for this years “Digery Don't” or the “Davey” for best capsize. The newest boat in the fleet is very quick, but they are not. Don't worry you'll see them smiling around the boat park. 3216_20130519_edhigham_i6.jpeg
Richard White A+E Rumour has it that in addition to an extra foil, Clive may also be developing the two piece mast or gaff rigged Cherub. They will be amongst the top group and one to watch.
Cool Beans PJ and PJ will be looking to show the world how cool the new Ellway 7 is. Rumour has it that Peter is now taller than his dad, Paul. Another new boat for 2013 that will be challenging for the Simpson Cup.
<Insert Image> Evo will not be joining us this year. She's at a clinic in Scotlandundergoing a weight loss programme. Ben assures us that he'll be sailing her not Ronin by the inlands
Marmite Paul and Ed have been terrorizing the West country with their vivid green monster. Paul assures us that he will have recovered from the excitement of Lego Land before he gets to BCSC.
yandy69300.jpg Anatidaephobia, known to her friends as Duck Wars. This year sees Alex Cramp teaming with windsurf dude John. Our sincere hope is that they manage to nail a “360” of one of BCSC's infamous rollers.
Eleanor Not a year passes without the fleet's own Ant and Dec challenging for postitions. Looking relaxed, comfortable and quick whilst winning the traveller's event at Sheppy - we are sure Dean and Simon will be on the money this year. sheppey_eleanor1.jpg>
<Insert Image> EJ Dave, Lara and Tim could be the real suprise package of 2013. After a lot of swimming in Phwelli Dave has recoloured and re-branded EJ. The orange missile is certainly quick and if the control systems are dialed in then she will be targeting the front of the fleet.
Riot Van Graham and Eddie have been a very successful father and son duo, bagging the last 2 nationals titles. This year their boat literally has the potential to grow wings and fly away - “it's not heights that scares me, it the grounds”Terry Pratchet rv.jpg
E-Numbers - Phil and Sarah are enjoying their first holiday away from 18 month old Alex. Expect raucous drunken antics and table dancing.
Usagi Yojimbo. Jill and Andy Peters are the reigning inland champions have continued to take the lightwind fight to any comers. This year a sees the addition of a new mast and hopefully some war paint (Note to Editor - that is sun screen).img_0186.jpg
ronin.jpg2698 Ronin: This 2008/9 double Nationals winner is looking for a new home. In the mean time she’s in the safe hands of Y&Y 2012’s Miss October’s drivers – definitely ones to watch.
2693 The Subtle Knife. Not sure how subtle these guys are, but they’re a pair of light, nifty sailors and after an epic journey down here they deserve a supercharged nationals. subtle.jpg
atumbom.jpg2688 Atum Bom. Ben has lost his former crew to marital bliss stateside, but he’s crewed up and with new rags they’ll be hoping for a nice bit of breeze.
2685 Loco Perro. After jumping in Loco last year, Nigel has the bug. But we still love him. Long-suffering crew (and son) Sam will be hoping the weather isn’t quite kind enough for the mankini to get an outing. loco.jpg
2680 Nautilus. If Simon comes round the corner from Torbay week to play with us it will be a truly epic nationals. Nautilus has been living in 12 foot skiff mode for a long time now, but deep down she knows where her Heart truly lies…
2678 Little Red Number - Will he won’t he, will he won’t he, will he won’t he…? Well, we’ll see. I won’t believe it till I see it…
2675 – Fuzzy. Does he? As of Friday PM this boat had zero fittings and structurally missing transom. Expect to see her on the start line on Sunday. Could he? Would he?
2674 - Born Slippy. Is she? Is it? Painted racing green this boat is not one to be caught terrain spotting. This week she will be hosting a crew of 3, all will be desperate to get control.
2673 - Dangerous Beans. Tom Kiddle and Hannah Smith are a fresh combination for this year. Beans has seen a revival and has recently be rebuilt to make her water tight
1234008_515178638550186_1603773639_n.jpg2664 - The Spanish Inquisition. Before you expect it this one has changed from bright yellow to ice white. Alex and his dad Marc will are a new father and son combination for 2013 and have already started to spring clena the fleet. And just when you were expecting it, they're changing the name to “Sods Law”
2663 - Sweet Dreams. Ade and Joe have shown moments of brilliance during the travellers series. Sweet Dreams will be giving several others sleepless nights.
2661 – TWU – This Way Up may make a guest appearance.
2659 – Kipper - It would be lovely if this boat is racing with us this week.
2648 - Comfortably Numb –Tim has made some alterations. Hopefully the boat name will not describe Tim’s behind following the week. Numb will be chasing hard for the ’97 cup this year.
2646 – Madge. Jo and Nick have the biggest garage in the fleet and the yellowest camper van. They’ll set out to sea in a pea green boat with honey and “plenty of money” wrapped in a five pound note.
2645 – Cheese. Jamie and Rohana are calling themselves “Team Danger”. Sadly “Team Sail Repair” and “Team fix broken bodies”
2644 – Suicide. There is suspicion that Alex Harris has been training in a swimming pool. Blonde has green.
2627 - Last Amber (sgt Mrphy) – Three fingers one thumb Andy and Dan are sailing a boat that is designed to fill up with water if it stops. Don’t worry after fiddling with the flaps all becomes right.
