Hi Mike -
thanks, I'll fix the date (and location) for the E-rudder seminar shortly.
FWIW, if I had choose between the Pacific Cup and Ashley's SAS courses (and yes, I have done both) I would choose the later without thinking twice.
You will learn far more, and be subjected too far less sponsored sales pitches for equipment you probably don't actually need.
Full disclosure - things may well have evolved with the PacCup syllabus - it's admittedly been a few years
