I think you could join either team - depends on whether you want to play with the smaller ribs or mix it with the larger boats.

As one of the smallest ribs last year, we had to work quite hard to keep up, and more importantly keep in clean water as the big boys powered past at 35kts+.

After the first leg where we were a bit slow getting away & spent the whole time in very dirty water kicked up by 40 other boats we tried to run at the front of, and wide of the pack which worked well.

Barrows sr does 39 knots and superbly in rough seas so no probs there

After the total refurb on the hull, paint, polish and wax, I'll be very upset if it doesn't reach 40.

Of course, I wouldn't 'cruise' at anything like that :nonono:

Team Scooby is about speed we will be cruising at 20 knots where possible. if your boat is capable of more and you WANT to do more join the shaggies. bigger boats that are happy to go slower and wish to support are very welcome :thumbs:

It will do 40 but almost on empty with 1 person

I'm hoping my 90l tank will get me round on one fill :dance:

90 litres:eek:

that's 90l of tea, don't know where I'm gonna put the go juice yet :thumbs:

Round twice or three times?

I'm hoping (if the weather holds up) to use about 25 :-) .

I love a nice economical injected four stroke.

ah, forgot to mention, I'm setting off from Caernarfon :whistling:

You wil do that easily with that amount of fuel. Forgot to say. Will be staying overnight in Yarmouth for a few drinkies afterwards!

sounds good to me :thumbs:

I think 90l will get you round twice with plenty left over :dance:

Looking forward to seeing your new SR4

Hi you lot, I don't mind what group you go in, northern exposure rescue may also be going with the team of the Scooby ;) these guys and girls really are mustard :thumbs:

At the end of the day we'll all meet before we round the corner to the needles so we can get a couple of pics of us all together.

Whichever team anyone goes in it's going to be an awesome day.

Last year I used 64 Ltrs with 150 optimax

maybe I'll go round twice, was never very good with this navigation stuff :whistling:

53l with Suzi 100 - 4 up +Tigga for a fair bit! with excessive pizza intake (you need to see the photo) :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Yes we are in , sounds like it will be another great day:thumbs: at least it wont be using as much fuel as that time we went to Ireland with a leaking fuel hose :whistling:

Tim, you do know where the Isle of Wight is don't you, what you gonna tow the rib there with, surely not that ratty old jeep thingy :rofl: n you'll never get round without a re-fuel, gonna be one expensive weekend :dance: be a laugh though :lol:
