The Red Sea RIB Rally will start in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt 1st to 10th September 2006; the first leg will take the competitors across the Red Sea to El Gouna near Hurghada, a distance of some 100 nautical miles. The second day of the rally will be fascinating with the teams covering a distance of over 130 nautical miles as they run down the Red Sea towards the Indian Ocean. A lay day will follow near Marsa Alam with crews resting and enjoying the local sights or perhaps diving in the fabulous Red Sea. The third day will be the toughest yet as the teams head north to Soma Bay against the prevailing wind and sea conditions. On arrival however, the comforts of a luxury hotel await and a further lay day will follow before the final return leg of the rally back to Sharm El Sheikh. This rally promises to be a real adventure and with teams from all over Europe taking part as well as other parts of the world so don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to be part of the action on the water in a truly stunning part of the world.

We will Have Local and International Sponsors and Media coverage

Is it splashed or just cut and shut? (or perhaps cut and paste is more appropriate in this usage)

Sorry couldn't resist

We are all booked up and looking forward to it - the event is a rally and for the money it would make a great holiday for anyone who fancies it if your boat fits in with one of the classes - £3,500 includes shipping the boat, 3 people, tools and spares, 5 star hotels, fuel and lots of other stuff!

They used a photo of my boat for the front cover of the brochure - I'm not complaining though!
