Sorry to be so uninformed but are raids always camping affairs? Months spent living in tents working for the Queen have left me less than enthusiastic.

... are raids always camping affairs? ... Edwin, not at all, most raids are with on-shore B&B or on-board hotel barge accommodation, or on-board sleeping of course. Camping is rather the exception. Up to you to enquire with the organisers. |

The official website of the Venice Lagoon Raid is now up at www.velaraid.it . The english language version of it is not yet functional at this moment. |

Hi, Claus.
This year I cant do the English raid (planned family holiday)and cant get to Venice.
Feeling deprived, so next year thinking of a Grand Tour. Semaine du Golfe, Velaraid plus any other events in Europe or interesting launch sites I can come up with, then Greece for August. First, I need to reorganise my camping arrangements and make sure the old car is up to it....and... Oh, yes. Need to find a sponsor!

Hi, Claus
The VelaRaid is definitely the place to be this summer! Wish I could make it.
Just had a quick look at the Seafair Haven and English Raid sites and there are no less that 9 Swallow Boats registered for each, making them the best represented class for the English Raid. Only 3 Drascombes registered , by contrast, as far as I can see.
Rather more at Seafair Haven but then, the BayRaider has only been around for 3 or 4 years and Drascombe luggers have been popping out of the molds since Noah was a lad!
....and it would seem that those of us who are waiting for a secondhand market in BayRaiders to develop might be better occupied in putting down a deposit on a new one and joining the queue!
