Taz (or anyone else for that matter) I am obtaining "stories" for my page in Sports Boat and RIB, so if you would like to send something to me I will try and include it in an upcoming special on the entrants for Round Britain that I hope to write this month if I have enough material!

Mark - Could be interested in your story too!

Arriving in NZ on 3rd March and leaving on 24th, I was going to be in Wellington for a race, but the schedule has changed and I won't be able to go there now - are you still there?

As far as RB08 on my boat is concerned, it is at the lower end of the class (in size), and with a life raft and spare engine to fit as well it would all be a bit much really! Still looking for a package though as it is a race that will have lots of stories to tell for the people who take part - that bit is for certain!

Just someone from Taz's neck of the woods who'd like to see him get it together. My previous race history I don't tend to spout about as it was a long time ago and I never had the inclination to.

I think this thread is more about what we can do to make Taz's entry viable not showboating about our own history.

The 4 litre boat with a pair of 200 Verado's running in RB4 class would have a lot of potential!

I am gobsmacked. Someone asked a question about buying a seat in a RB8 boat and got shot down for it.

And someone needed some funds.

We have 4 guys in the team all sharing the race costs. It makes it affordable.

hi john i think you missed the point you do not see me brag ever i allways keep things to myself but i got a bit pissed off when i asked about rb and about the seat and did not get a reply the tread just got stupid and as i can drive a boat and have the money its not my loss goog luck taz

I wasn't comenting on the situation with Taz, his ride, or his financing of his RB entry.
It seemed to me like a fairly unprovoked attack on Carl and I don't really understand what Carls racing crudentials have to do with his comment that apeared to offend you, other than maybe an attempt to belittle him, or to establish your superiority.
