Don't forget the 2010 great British Rib Rally organised by Scorpion when we went right round Ireland ,Scotland (including outer Western Isles and Orkney)
& England. That was quite a trip.

This is a really good vid of 2008, boat sinks at 18 mins in, I've met some of these guys, the one that helped fix the engine mounts in another teams boat actually went on to win a world championship 2014.



A really good 40 mins of film
