Safety boats for the Cowes Torquay Cowes

 
We are in desperate need for safety boats for the Cowes Torquay Cowes race and the Cowes Poole Cowes race in August.

We particularly need ten boats between the Solent Bank Buoy near Lymington and the Hurst Narrows during the start on the Saturday. We will also need about five Jet Ski’s there as well just for that period as we need to ensure Joe Public are not in that area as 70 boats run through.

We will also need about ten Safety Boats in Poole Bay for that particular race together with a couple of Mark Boats.

We have Torquay covered with the kind help of the Royal Torbay Yacht Club but we will need a boat off of Portland Bill. I was hoping that someone from the Lyme Regis Powerboat Club might help so if they see this message can they please get in touch with me.

Lastly, moorings in the North Basin in Cowes this year will be almost impossible, maybe room for about 6 Safety Boats but that's it as we have so many race boats to look after so its first come first served I'm afraid. There will be room in the South Basin however but we can't afford to pay for that unfortunately.

Anyone who is interested in helping please email Mike Lloyd.
