New British Race Boat Coming.

[Mike Lloyd]

Two 70 year old "Old Duffa’s" Mike Ring & Mike Lloyd plus our "minder" Andy Crabb have joined forces to race next year in a new Ring 34 only because we have to fulfil our obligations as senior citizens to the youngsters currently racing in Marathon who obviously need to be shown how it's done.

I'll have to ask the Skipper. It would have to be his decision.

Shouldn't you old boys have a pair of 'Petters', or 'Mermaids', or even 'Listers' or something?

You gonna give ML one of those suction stick on steering wheels? ala Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.....Turn right Ruprect!!!

You should get 'tubbs' as your #4 man. total combined age of team........367, he could look after the catering too.

[dowdy]

Pair of 700 F**k O*F in your face Ilmors more like it,do it once,do it right

[Jon Fuller]

Would be a relatively small boat 'in class' with them. You'd have to fight for it then. Most of the competitive B class stuff is IRO 40'.

That's not to say it wouldn't do well, just seems daft to pick a fight with bigger boats.

One of Reggies creations,NO.99 won back to back P.1. World Titles runnin a pair of Ilmor V10s 625H.P.each.To me they are the SEXIEST lookin pieces of kit goin,now modded to 700,pair of them in a bay panelled out in 14 gauge polished ally checker plate,mirror under your hydraulic hatch would just OOZE it for me and boy would it go in Mikes new 34,aint arsed about "classes" Jon i enjoy boating for what it is,Fun.Posing,if we are all honest with each comes into it aswell,bigger,better,faster,shinier,we all do it.Before i croak going to have something special for myself will come down and have a race with yer am sure you will find a "class" for me to join in with,you cant tell me that youre not a poser aswell,have your boats got smaller or slower over the years?Nah,didnt think so.LEVIATHAN is your statement,methinks you may be swapping it soon,if i am reading these posts correctly and why not?Isnt that why we were put on this planet?MIKE get your34 flying,you cant take it with you mate,do me one while you are it,will whup your arse,(in our own class of course) and no,i aint fookin barmy,you deserve it.Out.
