BananaShark at Southampton Boat Show

As noted elsewhere we will be doing processions twice daily at the show - if anyone is seriously interested in a boat for marathon racing or leisure use, then if you call me there may be a chance to have a test run at some point - I will be available at various times from the afternoon of Monday the 19th until Thursday the 22nd at the end of the day - we will be on the Feature Berth on the marina for the last three days.

There may also be room on board if anyone wants to come on the trip back to Salcombe - you'll have to make your own way home and I can give you a lift to Totnes railway station after retrieving the boat, I intend to leave weather depending as soon as the show finishes on Sunday afternoon.

Email me on cookee@bananasharkracing.com or call me on 07836 268747 to arrange either!

I think even you will be surprised by the room in the cockpit!

The video is of Kevin (Kitten) and Andy on a Jolly back from the IOW after lunch (I think) yesterday - I'm back in Salcombe as I have to go to a wedding on Loch Lomond later today - I'll be on the boat from Monday afternoon onwards - See you Friday!

may be going to the show this Sunday, however for me one of the highlight's at the show would be seeing your boat and although I see the boat has been taken to Southampton in the video, would I be right in assuming it is not on display until next Friday-Sunday

Correct until then she is just doing the parade past the pontoons.
