Our RB Observations

It was a pleasure to work with Ocke on the set up of the B28. As a race boat fan it was also great to see how well the Goldfish performed also.

To bad there wasn't a day with following sea and 10-15 ft waves during the race. She really shine in those conditions

Your correct, that it is quite wide, as it nearly got stuck when it went over the Seven Bridge!

Congratulations on your superb performance

Thanks Mark,
She´s not wide really. Just 10 ft too short..

[TobyC]

that would make our boat 16 feet too short!

"One of the things" I had to do before the race was to design the scrutineering stickers.

Tim Powell sent me through in the post a "sticker" that had been used in the 1995 Cowes Race.

I then scanned it, and changed it for the RB race.

TP wanted each "port of call", on the "stickers" that were given out.

I complied.

Took me a long time to do, but when I see this picture, I think Tim had a good point.
