Pete,

Thanks - I can see the Makita sponsorship being very important for the Show, so obviously we want to keep that format.

Maybe the HBBR/DCA group could roughly disorganise an "Open" category. Jeremy knows a lot about measurement of battery energy (as I do with an electronics background) so once we have a fair way to measure energy for all contestants we can think of a suitable "race" that is both entertaining and gets the right message about efficiency across at the show.

BTW: I was shocked to hear canal boats can use one litre of diesel per mile! How many Makita batteries is that?  There has to be better solutions in smaller boats surely.

cheers
Paul
