Long distance race in Greece
The endurance racing concept is really gaining momentum. Ceratinly a lot of interest in Greece and I would imagine you could see a few more teams for the next Round Britain - hopefully in 2012.
They are also looking at a long distance race from Athens next year. Looking at around 1200 miles and stages taking in the various Islands. Some fantastic boating and pretty big seas - actually waters are not unlike UK - In terms of wave patterns if not colour and temperature.
Only problem apart from costs of getting there - is it will be for RIBS only.
I'm sure Paul Tilley would love to fit some tubes to that big Phantom!

Actually, the post (Adams) isn't quite correct and is a tad premature.
Once things are sorted, we will post info, and assuming there isn't two planned races, it's not a 'rib only' race..

It took you two days to come up with that.
I'm dissapointed in you.
