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.

Brian, if you dont mind a hijack for the event which may generate some more interest
Race return 22nd July (Sunday)

Here is the link to the latest notice of event timings, worth bearing in mind you wont get into Ocean Village for moorings but a great event ashore also. The waterside you can expect to be packed all the way from The Solent to River Itchen so you will need excellent watching/observations and helming to stay safe

Any one else? fancy A day on the water, Fuel contribution will be paid, and refreshments @ Shamrock Quay before we head out onto the water!!

Do you get arm bands or baseball caps with Marshall written on them so that people know that you have the Authority to prohibit them using the bit of water as per the Notice to Mariners?
