"
My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run"
Dennis Conner.
Additional Crew.
The guys will be joined by Marcus Oldfield for the Inland Championships.
Marcus is an SB3 owner and will be doing the middle of the boat. Marcus's knowledge of the SB3 and his extensive sailing experience will be a real bonus to the team.

About TeamB4Ego
Whenever people get together for a "team" event or are in a situation whereby they have a chance to stand out, there are Egos and those Egos can lead to argument and conflict and the "team" not pulling together because of the "Egos" wanting to play their part.
When people realise that to put their Egos aside and work for the team is more important, then they achieve "TeamB4Ego" and with that they get harmony with each person doing their part for the TEAM.
Meet the Team
Geoff Gritton - Skipper
He just concentrates on boatspeed from the owners enclosure.
Kevin Butler - Middleman.
Due to personal and holiday commitments we will not be sailing with Kevin as much as we would like to have done this year.
Russell Dent - Bowman
He is the kite up and down and looks after the ropes and makes most of the tactical decisions. His Asymetric knowledge is a real strength to the boat and ensures that Kevin keeps his eyes on the kite and doesn't have to worry about eyes outside of the boat.
The Boat.
The boat is a laser SB3 and the number is 3516. The boats name is BSBS. This stands for Brightlingsea School of Boat Speed. It derives from an ISO national Championships in Looe in Cornwall in 1996, when the first 5 boats were from Brightlingsea.
