Round Britain 2008

[FLYING FISH]

Well done John for providing an informative website throughout.Wish there was more for the National scene as it`s pretty dire at present with it`s lack of feedback of results etc.

[Troels L]

Norwegians & Swedes on the podium - but I am even more impressed by Swipewipes.co.uk - Considered the short time for preparation they have proven Real (hard) Boats below 35 feet still have a fair chance in world class endurance races like the Round Britain 2008.

Congratulations to Mr. Fuller & Gilley - and the team behind them


best regards

T Lind

And not to forget Power Products. Well done Rod and Martin, a very credible 14th overall. Shows the ski racers can mix it up in a bit of offshore. I 've heard Rods gonna ski it next year

Pah, I'll ave you know we were having lunch whilst the welding was going on and witnessing the end of mark pascoes day being craned out and trailered away.

Done close to 150 miles ourselves today and have to say I feel for these rb boys and their fuel bills

Strange you should mention that I also wondered what happen to Shelley and also in the Fountain Sarah disappeared from the crew line up in the entrants list did she not start or did she find the fact the boat never seems to have got off the mark off putting

Going lean seemed to really get going in the second half of the RB if they had not had a penalty they would of been within a few min's of Hot lemon

Lets hope the Fountain/Blastoff team and Cinzano find some form should they enter the CTC

Ummmmmn - Dont know why or what the story is - can someone enlighten me? I congratulated James on winning and asked about his 'bit of tatt' from Bananashark.

I was told he did not win the Bananashark trophy. Any ideas why? I thought he was the fastest RIB in the race?

Anyone?

[Cookee]

Shelley started and did the first leg in the rear "seat" and drove on the canal section - the Lochs have no speed limit!

Sarah did not start.

Not sure about why James didn't get the first RIB trophy - may be an official reason such as the first Gold finisher or something?

[Mark Wildey]

We won a trophy which had "Best Presented RIB" on it which I can't quite get my head round. Andy has an unbelieveable boat but I wouldn't have said it was the best presented.

[verytricky]

Well, hopefully someone official will come on and explain this one to us.

I make Venturer the 6th RIB...

2 22 Lionhead Rib 1
3 9 Vilda Rib 2
4 55 Braveheart III Rib 3
5 2 Hot Lemon Rib 4
6 7 Going Lean
7 4 Hardleys Rib 5
8 111 Venturer Rib 6

Am I missing something?

[verytricky]

Is 333 Blue FPT a rib?

[Captain Chaos]

so is there to be no pics of the trophy presentations/ evening bash at portsmouth. Or a page on the website with a sumation from Mike/John M showing all the class winners?
