BananaShark Venture Cup seats.

Hi everyone - I don't see us being able to raise the cash to do the Venture Cup in June, I am therefore offering the boat as a whole for someone to race (have a look in the for sale section) or seats in the boat for the race.

If I do find the cash the team will still need some volunteers with driving licences, a lot of stamina and a very good sense of humour to follow us around Europe for a couple of weeks in June driving a motor home - owning a motor home guarantees you a spot on the team :-)

For the record there is nothing I would rather do than take part in this race but it's looking increasingly difficult!

would you join a team if we took injuries ? not as much fun as racing your own boat i know but you never know what might happen during the race and it might get you some water time

I would certainly consider it, we'll see how the rest of it goes first!
