Dear All
Just undertaken an up date for next weekend now I have more clarity of the timings etc and I would say we have certainly enough to take two The Solent Galleys and form the Forum we have the following
Saturday - Sprint Racing which will start around 10 am so participants will need to roll up at around 9.15 . After the sprint racing there is a 3 mile race in Langstone Harbour starting at 12.30.After the racing there is a free BBQ and free beer ( you will be asked to give a donation) and they have an evening planned with live music . I will post more this week

Any Changes please let me know
On the Sunday they are proposing a 7 mile race out to one of the Forts and back . The race is expected to last up to 90 minutes and could be quite challenging . It will be weather dependent
The race starts at 10 am so we will have to be ready at ECA for 9 am on Sunday so would suggest leaving Langstone at 8.30
For this the following have signed up

12 in total which will mean we can run the two Galleys with 6 up and rotate as we do in the Great River rave and round Hayling
I will set out the boat teams later today/ tomorrow
We need to decide how the boats are getting to ECA - There is some thought they could be rowed over or failing that they will need to be loaded onto trailers and towed over with us on Saturday morning and Brought back on the Sunday . I will look at the options this evening and will post again later with any further updates I have
Best Wishes and please feel free to ask any questions etc
Regards
Colin
