It is no secret that some of the boats move fuel around as ballast ... the Maltese boat (no C word!) has 3 or 4 fuel tanks and can move fuel from one place to another as can others. Just look for the fuel pumps and conspicuous hoses :-)
There is only one that I have seen that really knows how to use it to their advantage tho ...

Exceptionally fast also....kim's Donzi has supposedly a lot more HP than OSG. But Kim's does not do 110MPH, which is what OSG reckons they were doing in practice on Staurday morning in Cowes.............spooky

That would Jan & Drew, pump all the fuel into the wrong tank at the start, this stops the engine. This means you do not break the boat in reall rough solent water!!! Very Cunning Ha Ha.

Yes the rules will be on the new web site as soon as we can get them on. We are working on the new website as we speak, but I am relying on other people for this one! When it comes to computers I am no expert!
We are hoping to have something up within the next seven to ten days.
In the meantime, anyone who wants to go on our address list, please let us know asap.

Interesting site. The membership and registration fees should sort the men out from the boys!
I'm told a similar figure caused the demise of Provee.
