John Caulcutts new RB08 boat
Just had an email from John Caulcutt asking what class his new boat will go into. It's good to see he has still got that perverted sense of humour he is famous for!
We should have had an open Class?

Tim Powell joins RB08.
MOST Important Bulletin dated 5th February 2008
At a Logistics Meeting in London held on Sunday 3rd February regarding the Continued Planning and the remaining Allied Logistics of the 2008 Round Britain Race, starting on 21st June and Completion on 30th June 2008, it was agreed between Mike Lloyd of The Cowes Organising Committee Ltd and Tim Powell, that Tim would assist the C.O.C. Board, the Race Committee and our many Hands On Event Helpers in this Great Race and that Tim Powell would now be appointed as the official "Race Chairman."
Tim Powell, as most of you will know, has been a Prime Mover in this Country as to Events "Offshore" for many years having Organised the Cowes Classic for some 25 Years, competed in 20 of these Races and Organised the 1984 Round Britain Powerboat Race and also Competed in the 1969 Round Britain Powerboat Race {2nd. Overall}.
He is also very well known to the International Offshore Powerboat Racing Community having Competed at the Majority of the Venues for many years in Class 1.
There is No doubt that his very considerable knowledge and expertise in Organisation and Logistic Matters, with the help of others, will ensure that this event will be the success it deserves to be.
Tim is also able to Fully Confirm, as I am, that this Event is now sufficiently Funded to be able to announce that the START will take place on the due date and he looks forward to working with the Committee, The Support Team, The Entrants and The Competitors and our Hosts at each Port of Call to ensure that the entire Operation is enjoyable and most importantly Safe and Satisfying.
Much Organisational Work has already been put in place but there is still more to be done.
Those Remaining Competitors still intending to Enter this Great Race are strongly urged to do so now as the Confirmed Runners Entrants / List approaches some 45 / 48 Racing Craft at this point in time.
An incredible Turn Out in all Classes and still more are coming! What a great race this is going to be.
ML.

Going by recent 'join ups' to this forum, I have a good idea who those 'mates' could be.
Spill the beans then!!
Or, at least let us know if they'll be 'direct' competition to us, or in another class.

Seems like you worked that one out!
Keep it close to your chest until announced!
Just when we were worried about Richard Carr going Round Britain!

Crew Profiles
Would anyone who is competing in the race kindly email pictures of their crew so I can post on the RB website entrants page?
RB1 and RB2 are nearly complete with the help of the P1 website and others.
If you are ugly, do the same as me - use Photoshop!

I wonder how Hutchy's flipper will perform in RB since he has stabbed it and what will the great man himself think of the copy, will he smile or frown...I personally like the stab design who knows even Gav may attach some to his latest creation
