Hi Mike .At Bournville we still have five or six R6s racing regularly , we were only talking yesterday about how our fleet is slowly diminishing in size as skippers are getting older and not wanting to handle the heavier boats , the problem then continues because there seems to be little point in investing in new boats , new skippers always seem to choose the more popular classes and so the class continues to decline . Lets hope some one comes forward as class captain and reverses the downward trend
