Urban Myth or Truth?
Is there a round the island (Isle of Wight) powerboat race for novices? If so when is it?
Thanks All.

Foolish don't think I'm ready to play with the big boys just yet, just fancy a bit of competitive fun, makes a change from watching football.

LOL .. Hardly the "Big Boys" .. Ashleigh's a girl 5'2" and only 8 stone .. & We don't do anything BUT fun, I'm sure you would have a great time - plus you get 3 races over 2 days and a great party inbetween !
