Bulletin 2 going out to all Rally Skippers today.
Only one week to go! Should be a sight to see, one of the biggest fleets for some time, 33 boats plus the card boats!
Powerboat & RIB will be covering the event with Dave Ormiston and Tim Tapping (back from having fun in Norway) will be having just as much fun with us taking pics! Hopefully we will have some coverage from a chopper.
ML.

Re Pirates of the Solent Poker Rally, no more applications please, we are full on maximum numbers!!
Rafting up at Drivers is going to be interesting! Make sure you all have enough fenders and plenty of mooring lines please.

Are you still planning on heading in the Bembridge direction ? If so do you have a rough idea of what time you will be there, as will pop out for a look.
Many thanks
James

We will be a fair way out from you James as I am sending the fleet round No Man's Land Fort before heading down to the Bembridge Ledge Buoy to avoid the Ryde Sands. Should be running past you between 14.45 and 15.00. Depends on the bleeding weather of course which isn't looking good!!

Brilliant Mike, my local fishing spot !
Wave if you spot a yellow 8m Scorpion rib.
Fingers crossed the rain stays away.
Truly stunning on the Solent currently, mirror flat.

Will all Six race boats taking part in the Rally please make sure that their race numbers are crossed out. Just for this weekend of course.
We don't want people saying we are organising a race do we!! Oh, and no race helmets either please.

Lots of rain for sat.. Also increasing likelihood of storms and such for fri/sat.
Above is a predicted rainfall total map showing the amount of rain falling from 6pm fri to 6pm sat.
It seems however that most will happen sat morning, so you may just get a clear afternoon of it.

Enjoyed seeing you all off No Man's land fort, smokin Aces sounding awesome, but in my opinion going best was the PPG rib, Nick G in the phantom 32 also run fast and level in the light chop.
Can't wait to see the pictures, and hope you have a great evening.
