Hi,

A few pics from our trip to the Class 1 Race at Plymouth this morning

Nice Rib

Nice pics

Good pics. How did they get that Revenger out of the water? It looks quite calm - or is the camera deceiving us?

Anything exciting to report from the racing?

Brambles · 18 July 2004, 21:08

Hi Louise,

Well spotted! It was pretty calm and the Revenger spent most of the trip out of the water

Hi Ian,

Must try to get out again with you guys so you can take some piccies of us getting some big air.

Hope to see you soon.

Good idea. The boat is down at Salcombe for a couple of weeks now, but we will be out on the Solent again soon. I will PM you with some dates nearer the time.

Cheers Ian. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Did you have your trailer behind Paignton harbour a few monthes ago ? I can remember a trailer with Scooby Doo on it up one of the back roads but never saw the boat on it.

Hi,

Not gulity.. this Scooby Doo doesn't have a trailer. Someone else in the Paignton area must have a boat that was also named by their children...

Hi,

Looked out for you on but could't see you on Sunday. I will post some pictures of the race boats later on tonight.

Did anyone see the dolphins??

For pictures from the race, including some featuring the dolphins, have a look here: http://www.class-1.com/ and click on 'Photos'.

Ta, Dan from Boatmad, for the link!

We Saw the Dolphins, and helped to escort them off the course....a pretty hard job, we handed them over to the fire/rescue boat who had jet drive engines as they like the water pressure and they escorted them towards Cawsands but as soon as the race was started again they came back!!! ....It was great to see them though.

Hey,

Nice job! How do you escort a pod of dolphins? Do they come when you whistle?

Race control told us to get behind them and move slowly out to the west, we had to be pretty careful as it's an offence to follow them apparently!
