Hamble River Raid Saturday 18th May 2019

[Dave M]

This year’s Hamble River Raid is on Saturday 18th May.

For those who have not taken part in this previously, this is a race up the River Hamble from Hamble Quay to a point by the Jolly Sailor in Bursledon (sadly no time for a swift one) and return down river back to Hamble Quay. We have previously won trophies in this event and have some to defend.

This is a fun day including a competitive row taking about 45 minutes for the fastest boats.

There are refreshments (usually a hog roast) and a bar available before and after the row.

It is designed to be an inclusive event, so if you have not raced before this is a good opportunity to start.

We will need assistance with getting the boats to and from the event so please indicate if you are happy to tow.

Please post if you are interested, ideally before the end of March as we will be looking to finalise the number of boats by then.

Entry will be £10 per person to cover the entrance fee and costs of towing.

Spectators are welcome.

Dave and Rachel

Thanks for that. If there's a less world-class competitive bit I'd like to go, but never mind if it's all v serious stuff

Ben - in reply to your post, the Hamble River Raid is more of a fun day than a competitive one. Sadly, some of our boats do not have a class in which they can compete for trophies in. It is a great introduction to see what a race day entails.

[Rachel]

Yes please for me too Dave

[Mark Taylor]
