bzsmarina, details on boat?

Good Lord! My old raceboat was called Ciao!

"Made" - That is something we English chaps watch in Hollywood Films.

Very Very disappointed..

I feel your dissapointment.....I too was looking forward to seeing you + others in this race again. I was also planning to display my little Mini Hawk for sale this year on land, plus helping out with the photography like last year....looks like we got to wait a longgg time now.......

Dont let this thread die for a whole year. This could be the beginning of the advertisement for next years event. They now have plenty of time to organize, hype, and advertise a HUGE event. Consider what some of the nay-sayers are sayin, adjust pricing if necessary, and make this thing bigger than life! Good luck and I hope everyone make next years event a huge success.....

What a shame, I was really looking forward to getting to attend this year. Oh well, I guess we will just have to try harder to make it a success for next year.

I am just curious, with this year, you listed 7 teams that expressed serious interest in competing, with 2 actually registered/fee paid. If all 7 were registered with entry fees paid, would that have been enough for this year's race to be a competitive & financial success? If not, what is that minimum number? Just curious so we know what to try to work towards for next year.

Best of luck as always & thanks Charlie for your hard work in trying to put this together for this year!

Hmm.. All I can say, that I am sorry to see this happen.
Sad, that there wasn't enough interest.

offshore only?

more like onshore only.

:angry-smiley-038:

once again the americans look like the sad sacs they are.

Don would not be proud of this,

Joe DeFusco - Top Bloke
 

I feel very sorry for last years winner, Joe DeFusco.

I met him at the Event last year and he is a "Top Bloke".

He has worked his socks off getting his Sonic sorted for this year, with extra fuel reserves, navigation instruments for his "Tom Cruise" Look Alike Navigator Jon.

I have had the job of running the Cowes Torquay Cowes race for the last 2 years - It is never easy to put on, but my team do the very best to make sure it runs.
