Thanks for the recommendation, I am specifically looking for some less than fair conditions having never seen any. I plan to do the fastnet in 2009 on my own boat preceeded by a Transatlantic crossing with landfall in the scillies followed by a sail to falmouth and I would like to get my first tatse of difficult conditions on a bullet proof boat with someone who knows the area intimately. I agree most boats there are out of the water by that time of year.
