RED FUNNEL EXTENDS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BPRC

 

Red Funnel will extend its partnership with the BPRC and will support the club with the running of The British Powerboat Festival 2010.
 
The impressive catamaran Red Jet 5 will act as start boat in both the Cowes 100 and the Cowes Torquay Cowes races. In the months leading up to the race, the Red Jet catamarans will be showing video footage of the 2009 Cowes Torquay Cowes for its many passengers to view.
 
Special rates for the Southampton - East Cowes Ferry will be available for race boats and tow vehicles.
 
Red Funnel was formed in 1861 and is a modern and highly successful transport company based in the UK City of Southampton. Group activities include cross-Solent ferries, UK holidays, distribution and freight services.
 
Red Funnel is the 'Original Isle of Wight ferry operator' and now carries in excess of 3.0m passengers and 0.6m vehicles per annum on routes between Southampton (UK mainland) and East and West Cowes (Isle of Wight). The fleet consists of modern purpose built Ro-Ro vehicle ferries and Red Jet Hi-Speed passenger catamarans.
 

 
 
 

SPORTSBOAT & RIB SHOW

 

 
The club is happy to announce that we have taken up space at the SPORTSBOAT & RIB SHOW, being organised in Ocean Village, Southampton over the weekend of 22nd/23rd May 2010.
 
We anticipate exhibiting a Classic Racing Powerboat, and also having a small stand, where it is hoped we can show “movies” of previous CTC Races, on a CD/DVD Player.
 
The anticipated boat is hoped to be CINZANO, courtesy of Marcus Hendricks, & is subject to the boats re-fit being largely completed by that date.
 
The show is aimed at sports boat & RIB enthusiasts, & it is hoped that we can attract some of these enthusiasts into possibly getting involved in the roles of patrol & resuce/mark boats.
 
There are a lot of sports boat owners & their friends out there – we hope to form a link into the powerboat racing world for some of these enthusiasts.
 
The show should provide a good day out, with a variety of exhibitors, & access is good.
