There is no European Rib Championship as far as I know.

Attempts have been made, but have failed.

OKEΥ not exist but are not hard to do. If you do some time and is a professional level to make sure that it works

Get in contact with kris from Brugge Marine. He knows of various RIB races in Europe etc. The other day he was showing me some mad RIB racing in Russia that looks great fun, including a 25 hour endurance race! Looked like RIBs from 6 meter plus had entered, all range of hull types and sizes - Looked great, low cost racing.

Britain used to hold some of the best RIB races in the World until the RYA and Cheque books got involved. Sadly when the Money left the Sportsman was faced with so many stupid rules he couldnt be bothered. Hopefully others will learn from our lessons on How to mess things up Alan P

Allan is not right. We follow the matches you up close and I think the problem is only financial. If you could any authority to make matches at European level would certainly existed many stakeholders

Although the world is in a financial mess, I am talking about 20 years ago when we all used to have fun. Our Govening body has presided over the fastest growing market ever and still the rules and regulations that were eventualy made up killed the sport. Any sport has to be equal. You only have to look at F1 this year, bloody boring. Alan P
