VOR1 Light sails, Reaching sail and winches
Clipper 3, LS RS HS Foils Polish & Winches
No Zezo, bought cards, or radio on any leg
I'll probably do the same as Clipper 3 for all VOR and Clipper
legs. I want to feel that I've got a good boat, even if I don't
follow Zezo and won't buy cards.
For shorter legs I may not take some options that I don't think
I'll need - like foils and Heavy sails for VOR1 (mind you a
better internet connection would be a good option!).

Back on the air after a jaunt round Europe by train with
intermittent internet access (proving again that IG goes best
with minimal intervention from me!).
Clipper: keeping it simple with just reaching sails and radio
alert.
VOR: will probably go for full suite of sails + foils.
Options are indeed expensive. Aiming not to buy any cards too.
Good sailing everyone.

Good plan Rob. I'll cut back Clipper to just reaching sail for
the next leg. Concentrate on VOR
