Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

With 2 slalom boats being nicked this last weekend , and an expensive new boat on order, I was wondering which is the best company to insure slalom boats with. Anyone got any recommendations?

Eli Meakins had her boat stolen at Orton Mere slalom yesterday

Nelo DM350 XS, black with white zig Zag and red stripe.

Please keep your eyes out for this boat.

And all caught on camera
(though it was Chris's camera so the evidence may have been destroyed by now).

Thanks for the event guys. GF managed to practice her swimming, and has now been promoted in her first C2 event.
Weather was great.
Now if you can just make that road a bit quieter at night for the next event that would be brilliant

Done.

Got my yearbook today and noticed that the top Div ⅔ Women Vet has been allocated the number 24. The top Prem/1 Womens Vet is number 41.

Anyone able to explain how these numbers are allocated?

Thanks Steve. Will have to try and get into your demo boats sometime.

So to answer my own question. I hear that the Matrix is faster between the gates, and the Galaxy is faster round the gates.
Sounds like the new Copa is the best of both worlds.

Anyone agree or disagree?

The BCU website tells me there is an updated Canoe Slalom Coaching Manual to replace the 1995 version I have.

Apparently I can obtain it by contacting my "Home Nation Coaching Representative".

Anyone know who this is? I live in England.

Anyone paddled both the Matrix and Galaxy extensively? how do they compare? what are the strengths and weaknesses of each boat?

Agreed, thanks Dave.

Seems to be lots of rain forecast over the next few days.
Flat water for div2 definitely not ideal, but I need points so happy to race whatever the level.

So no rule change required?
Who does the paddler apply to , the ranking officer?

Clarification please. Does the current system allow for errors to be corrected after the event or not?
There seems to have been a few errors during the season, is anyone proposing a rule change at the ACM?
