In my humble opinion the last thing this country needs is more jet skis. I wish they would re think this and come aboard some of those awesome RIBs that seem to be ubiquitous on your side of the pond.

Watching their "trailer", I think they'll have better luck if they quit spinning the damn things in circles!

For a jet ski to run for 7 days must be a world record attempt.

Good luck to them cant wait to see the support vessel.

Hi all


Just thought I would introduce myself and the Team to you all
I do note that some off you have had bad experiences with Jet Ski’s in the past. But I have to say not all are alike !! so please do not hold that against us.

Also the Team are also using 2 Ribs as support for the event as manned safety boats
And we will be posting reports on how they cope as we go on.
Our main support vessel is a super SeaCat 3 (74m) and that will have no problem in keeping up with us !!

Please feel free to ask if you need more info !!

Regards


Jay (Challenge Coordinator)

Hi All

Thank you for your questions and comments and as I had said before please feel free to ask !!

We will be leaving the river Mersey on the 10th June at 14.00hrs and it would be great if there are some ribs on the water at that time.

Yes that is the type of boat that we will be using and you don’t want to know what the fuel costs are just for that !!

Thank you for your comment Clive and please feel free to join in on the day !!
