Who's going to win each class in the '07 ICRA's

Well its that time of year again with only 3 weeks to go until the battles recommence.

Class 0 I'll say a close run battle between Jump, Blondie, Mariners & Antix, with Jump getting the upper hand.

Class 1 is a little more uncertain. As always Voodoo will be there, but with a refit and optimisation, she will be more competitive than ever. The other players will certainly be the J109's, namely No Naked Flames, Checkmate, Voodoo's sister, and then the relatively unknown quantities of the A35 Aztec, the Bens 34.7s and the new Corby 33(s). Also 1 boat not to forget is Raptor, who seem to have had the upper hand on the new Aztec in DBSC....?

Class 2, I haven't got a clue about, so any suggestions.....

What have the boys done on the refit... anything unusual?

The boat was slotted into the same shed that she was built in, and had Chris Allen working on her over the winter months. They have looked at the weight, trim, sails, deck kit, pretty much every aspect. They feel the boat is now better than ever, and they have got the rating down 4 points on last year's ICRA's. But at the moment its all hearsay until she lines up against the other boats in the fleet.
