Alderney Floptilla RIB Rally - 22 to 24 July 2011 - Page 6

I don't want to interfere guys however, what we have found with threads which are very popular like this one, is that initially there is a lot of chat to encourage the event.

When it gains momentum, start another, more specifically aimed at the topic.

Hope this helps...

I have a feeling the barbe may never be truly finished, not until there is a smoke house and steam room attached anyway.

Aye aye skip, will try and get on that tomorrow. Been doing all sorts of lovely web type stuff of late, better than being out in the wind and rain!

Cool!

Do you need an Alderney marshall to make sure the boats pass Alderney outside of a mark, or are they allowed to come inside the reef if they feel brave enough?

Splashing about in the Swinge and the lunch in Dielette both seemed very popular with all last time, adding a lunch in Sark would be cool.

Sound good to me,

I'll get an ally fuel can holder built if the trip goes further south!!!!!!

Looks like it because the original 30/31 date didn't work 'cos it's Alderney week. Any earlier and most kids will still be at school (see trev's post) and I don't suppose you'd be keen to see it creeping into August really?

If you're busy then I'm sure the osprey-owners association could host a floptilla page. Especially since about half of all ribs attending will be Ospreys

Actually just noticed on the "brokerage" section of your site, "DizzyIzzy" is still up for sale. Didn't she go to France last year?

Not its not, you must need to refresh.

And don't remind me, there is some cracking weather coming up at the end of the month and being boatless is starting to really grate!

I leave the PDFs online for a while after sales as they are sometimes referred back to and used for prospective sellers to make comparisons.

The RIBs page does not have it anymore, you really do need to refresh the page I think.

Gone, but not forgotten!

The only thing I know about the new boat is that it wont have an eTec on the back!

Since you're up for considering the idea of an inboard... how about a something with some of these under the hood. I guess you could stick twins of them in a parker 16m?

you could get to your survey sites nice and quickly!
