Chris - I intend to be there - you had a spectator boat a few years ago, any chance of one this year possibly ?
Maybe with P1 assistance ?

Goinglean · 06-09-2010, 07:29 PM

This race was fantastic last year & the meal at the yacht club afterwards was superb, does anybody know if this is still a basic race?

Dean its a Club Race (was Basic) and I hope you are entering the Evolution you raced last year if you still own it.

You would fit into R2 class

Hope to see you in Lymington

Chris,

Just checking because we need an event licence for Mandy.....she wants to do her second race this year

Anyway great news we'll be there racing the Evolution

Much improved over last year.... We have a chart plotter this time... Lol

See you there

JBP · 07-09-2010, 01:55 PM

Last year was a great turn out and the weather really kind too, lets hope for a repeat with even more racing, well done Chris and team.

Gerbil112 · 07-09-2010, 07:43 PM

Hope you have a great weekend everybody. Sorry I can't make it, I'll be in Porthcawl looking after the Thundercat Racing.

If it's anything like last year, the upside of Porthcawl is the wind over sand giving a fantastic exfoliation of any exposed skin! Also, any rust on vehicles gets sandblasted away!

I must say,the info your pumping out on your website is pretty impressive.

Obviously been influenced by the `Ciao` school of `How to run a website serving the powerboat fraternity in a professional way`.

billy no boat · 28-09-2010, 11:58 AM

we are planning on coming round on Saturday for the afternoon race. am i being completely stupid but i cant see what time the second race is starting?

as a non racer am i right in reading from muster to bridge west cardinal being the first mark on the first lap? would like to get inside the course at the first mark to get some pictures maybe?

Cheers
Howard

billy no boat · 28-09-2010, 01:01 PM

scrap that, i see 15.00 start for the second race. assume safety will be on M1 or M2 so we can make sure we are out of the way!!
