Are you saying Glasgow shouldn't be seeded?

I'm saying the draw looks a bit unbalanced, that's all. For example Macquarie/Goldie, Isis/IC and Brookes/Hartford sound more like second round races, and I'd expect any of the middle four of those to beat Glasgow, assuming a good Brookes crew and not just the left-overs. Glasgow were v strong at BUSA this year and obviously they get my home support ;o) so I'm not suggesting for a moment that they'll be a walkover. As usual, can't say much about the foreign boats, but I think the FaT crew looking at this draw have a lot more hope of a Thursday appearance than (for example!) last year. Anyway, good luck guys!

Glasgow did come 3rd in S1 at the Met on Saturday and 4th in S2 on the Sunday as well ...

OTOH, any draw would have given FaT more of a chance than last year !
