Nice one Brian, you all did a great job last time on the race start against some stupid people ignoring all rules and regs and even common sense.

We will see you out on this one as booked with some friends of yacht crews.

Thanks to all who have volunteered so far, a few more boats still required please. It promises to be a good time on the water, escorting these amateur crews after their circumnavigation of the world.
