The run back to Portsmouth. The Jackeens with Antoinette & Martin on board Zeb. Great day, sadly the weather changed making me leave Seahawk 2 in Portsmouth

and a great great pity that due to weather the race had to be cancelled

My nephew Chris and his girl friend Ola having survived the run from LAmpton which they greatly enjoyed

And I hope they send / post some copies soon or anyone viewing this thread will see us pootling on Zeb as the only moving object

Or someone else may have some.. ???????????

BIG thank you to the Jackeens for taking us out for the day, it was brilliant fun if a little lively on the way back . Good to meet Andre and his crew, look forward to seeing them again. And a big well done to Carl and Matt in Explosion for coming in a brilliant second on Saturday behind a bigger and more powerful boat.

Excellent hospitality from the Jackeens as ever and we hope to be out in our new boat next weekend all being well.

M & A

Great to meet up with the intrepid crews of Zeb and Pendragon on Sat. Thanks for the invite to join you all down to Yarmouth. Natasha loved it, and only complained once about being splashed. I now know exactly where I need to put some more grab handles!
I hope we did not scare Stuart and Paul too much and trust you got out from under the gang-way safely.

Our pleasure to be out with such cool peeps (Hi Natasha )

Thanks for your excellent company and we'll roadtest the newbie next weekend Anto and Martin. (Think it was the sausage rolls that affected the trim alright )

Hello,

I would just like to say a big big thank you to the Jackeens for taking me out on Sat to take some pics of the powerboats. It was very kind of you and your hospitality was exceptional! I was also very impressed with Zeb, despite getting water down the back of my neck a couple of times when lying on the bows, I remained very dry 95% of the time!

It was great to meet some more ribbers off the forum (Whiteshoes and Mark H...is that right? and Aging Youth and co.) and of course the racers! Thanks to Cookee for showing me around on Friday and spending the time to explain a few things to me. I hope you all liked the choc cake!

I got some good photos, a few of which I hope to post up here in the Gallery. Cookee and Carly Baby, I have a few of you guys going ultra quick so will post them. Kathleen, the pink boat will be up just for you

The weather is supposed to be improving for september so lets hope we can all get out ribbing again soon.

Jackeens, thanks again, you are very very ni...

Cheers

Tim

Photo on the right...

...and that's Pendragon with Aging Youth (Kevin) at the helm, Kathryn and Danielle behind and Mike (Scurvy Crew) doing photographer duty...

Just lacking the distinguished figure of Mr. Ribald (Pete T.)

Thanks for that Kathleen/Paul, I wasn't sure who they all were! I will hopefully get more pics posted up this evening. Mike and I are in the process of producing a photography site for all our work which should be online in a week or so. The address will be www.elementphoto.co.uk and it should include pictures from Saturday as well as well as lots of other interesting/arty/exciting photos!

Kathleen, I will post the pink Honda powerboat tonight!

Tim

It would be great to have a few race shots here if you get the chance?

It was was good to meet up with some familiar and some new faces at the weekend - disapointed not to do the Cowes Toquay race but it would have been hell in that water!

RIBase
Sat about a mile off the Ore Stone Rock scanning the horizon anxiously for white splashes which would indicate the Cowes-Torquay racers coming into view.
It was pouring with rain and a little gusty as well.
An hour later, someone rang me to say the race had been cancelled 20 mins earlier due to "2 metre waves off Portland".
So?
How bad was it really Cookee?

I was told that "Hot Lemon" (an official mark boat) a 10m cabin Scorpion was having a great deal of difficulty getting to it's mark, they tried a second start for just the P1 and Formula 1 boats just to portland and back, but they eventually cancelled that along with everything else.

I only saw the conditions around the Cowes area and it was very lumpy - we crossed on the ferry later in the afternoon and I think they made the right decision on what I saw. The organisors were in touch with coastguards along the coast as well as other safety and mark boats so they had a lot more information than the second hand information I had!

Hi Tim, It was a pleasure meeting you at the weekend.

Not so well I'm afraid - only managed 5th place - missed out on 4th by 2 seconds! The whole Formula 2 fleet was quite close together after 60 miles, and I think we now have the answer for the next race!
