Whos going to be around in Cowes for the powerboat fest this weekend? I assume all the regulars like Cookee, Adam and Carl? Anyone popping over to watch the racing? I should be about most days with camera in hand.

Details of the Cowes Classic event are here.

I think the three races Cookee will be competing in are:

Friday 26 th August

14:30–15:30 Race 3 RYA National RIB Championship

Saturday 27 th August

11:15-12:15(?) Race 6 RYA National RIB Championship

Sunday 28 th August

11:15-12:45 Race 10 Gillette MACH3 NITRO Gel Isle of Wight Powerboat Challenge (Race Class)

See this for maps of where the racing will take place. Basically, the first two races will be run in the Solent to the North and West of Cowes, whilst the last race is 'Round the Island' anticlockwise.

Good luck to everyone competing!

Yes you're right Louise, we will be in those races -

Mike should be coming, hope to confirm soon.

Is any body out about in a RIB to watch the racing tomorrow? if so, two photographers would very much appreciate a ride to get some shots!

I will check this late tonight and again tomorrow morning. If you're able to help, please PM a mobile number!

Many thanks,

Tim

Many thanks to Ray for the ride today. Hopefully got a few good pics. If anyone can get out tomorrow to watch the P1 boats then do it, its well worth it! They are pretty impressive. The racing was very close to the shore at cowes and there was a huge amount of spector boats as well as crowds on the beach.

I'm around in cowes tomorrow with the camera, so if you see me, give me a shout! Will try and post some more pics in the gallery in the next couple of days.
