For the benefit of Ribnet members here are the same questions as on Boatmad:

UIM Championship?

What are the classes? Is one the same as Rib Sport Professional?

It can't seriously be the 15th or every month?

Any help with travel?

Thanks,

[Adam Younger]

Sounds interesting - more information needed!

To my knowledge it didn't happen this year.

It doesn't appear to be UIM sanctioned so it isn't a World Championship

The UK has been dropped from the series

Five week long events is in my opinion totally unrealistic but what do I know!

that's right! Cookee

The races never happen, you can see in the U.I.M. calendar, that the race in Greece - Athens (11 - 16 May 2008) is still on ... not even an announcement of the cancellation...

after the link look for Offshore - Offshore International Ordinary.


Its very difficult in just 30 days between the races... even for National events.
