Nope, you're right - it should appear some time in the next few days (and it'll be free to 'buy')

Nothing in race instructions - we've got scrutineering etc to do on Friday and you know how that can drag out!

No parading as John says but there will be an opportunity for you to do some mincing when you get out of the beer tent Barry.

Are there any Race Instructions yet? Also, with the race starting in a weeks time, is there an actual list of entries so that the public can see what they are supposed to be looking at when the fleet goes whiz zing by??

I think you have nailed a particular "hole" in current systems there.
There are no "entry lists" any more, one accesses info' via a website.
Thats fine, but not everyone has a mobile-internet enabled- 'phone (believe it or not), & for a spectator, one cannot carry a pc around.
Printing sheets & distributing them costs money I know, & pay-back is minimal, hence the current situation.
In addition, some teams seem reticent to pass on up to date info' , except to "those of us in the know", & even to organisers.

It is indeed - first time out for a few of the boats ...Warpath, Boss One ...and more of a huge 'welcome back' than a 'first time out' for Apache Perkins

Excellent. Have Warpath and The Boss actually hit the water yet (not counting the apaches ferry ride over the pond)?

Not 100% sure. I had heard talk that both had done or were doing a quick run around the IoW before next week.
Actually ...Warpath has a few miles under her already. She was tested in the US of A before shipping

Well, its been a long road for Robin, So I'm pleased the BOSS is all done. I hope he's had sufficient testing that this trip doesn't prove a bit foolhardy.
Very surprised there's not been a single pic of it on here OR that its not been spotted out testing by another forum member.
