Didn't go very well as it had no testing at all - wrong props and not set up very well!

Not to be negative, but what´s the point?? The tubes are minimal. The Blade Runner is a beautiful boat itself. Why spoil it?!!!!!!!!!!!

It was built for a RIB only event (would that be discrimination ) ......... by the way it had been sold before the crew had left Egypt so there must be a demand!

They agreed before the event the definition - I think the organisers were quite liberal with the definition to get as many entries as possible - especially after a number of Greek boats pulled out over some sort of internal argument?
