It was great to meet up with you again and thanks for bringing the radios down.

I would like to thank you and all the other safety boat crews for being there over the weekend - you guys make it possible for us to race and without you it wouldn't happen. It is great knowing that there are people watching us and are capable of sorting out any incident that might occur.

So thanks on behalf of all the racers to you and everyone else at the weekend.

Cheers Cookie.

On the whole the crew and I had a good time, few drama's, mainly with organisation but you already know about those!!!

Was great to see you again and also to get to finally meet Mike and Jackie.

We were made to feel very welcome by all the racers and other safety crews.

The boat we used was a bit of a pain and if we are going to do it again we are looking to borrow or use another boat.

Any manufacturers that would like to loan Icom a boat please call me
We would be happy to promote your company at all the events where its used inc all the exhibitions and shows!!!
We have already got offers for an engine and all the safety kit.
Just need a boat to put it all on!!!

Well you can't blame a man for trying!!!

Once again thanks to you racing guys and girls for making as feel part of the team.

Regards

Sorry can't tell you what make they are but I think they are made for the kids to race in specifically?

If you really want to know I'm sure the RYA would help you.

Yeah, it's a Sorcerer 12', designed as Kitten says by Bill Maloney, originally marketed in the 70's as one in a range of ski and day boats up to about 21'.

They now build a rib based on the 21, the design has excellent sea keeping and pitch stability.
