These guys are going to have some real fun

Bob, many thanks for comming over and helping us with training and laying the building blocks for offshore racing. We had an absolute blast over the two days and I think I speak for everyone when I say we learned a lot and got a lot covered in the short time.
I've had a number of calls today from people looking to start racing with one guy going to collect a boat tonight. So hopefully our small fleet will grow at a steady rate!
Hopefully next time you visit you will have some boats with you.
Hope you and the guys had a good time and we see you again soon.
Thanks again for all of your time and efforts, and for braving the wind, rain and hailstones to get us out on the water!
Alan

It was great to see "Offshore Racing" back in Ireland, enjoyed watching it from the shore, will miss the the Fenit race as we are "slow boating" on the River Shannon, do hope to get to the Clogherhead race in July.
Brings back memories of the early 70's, but a wee bit faster..........
WELL DONE to all.

A few of us from the CMBA had 10 days over there a month ago, fan-bloody-tastic is all I can say. Great water, great people, great country, great fun. Some of the guys we met are in the pictures here. Can't wait to go back. I will take the fast boat next time!
