I think the Challenge - as opposed to the Race - proposed by HMS for next year
will cost a lot less than that.
Your total you illustrated is just under £30K.
I would hope to do the trip with a budget more like £6K
Its still a lot of money.
I dont have a race team budget.

Havnt seen an entry fee ...
lets assume - 600.00 ??
Then for my 90hp Rib..
Fuel - 3000.00... (to include NCL to PLY and return on the trailer)
B and B / Hotel - 14 nts at 100 = 1400.00
Food / Misc / 2 stroke - 1000.00
that gives 6K total...

As I've mentioned before, I fancy the idea of helping with land support for RB - subject to usual caveats about availability, etc.

I would like to do this and have been starting to look for / think about the boat to do it in. Something 5.5-6.5m outboard powered in keeping with the sprit of the challenge I think.
I was / am working to a rough budget of £5000 (shared between two) along similar lines to the calcs above for the actual trip, plus a considerable amount more to source & rig up the boat of course!!
gtb what's your t's & c's of land support ? I rather fancy a support team !!

t's & c's ?! minimal. I imagine keeping in regular touch with the crew, driving between rendezvous, camping/B&B in various places, carrying whatever make sense in the back of the MPV, and being a general 'gopher' to help folks get around safely and successfully. Just don't expect any help fixing the hydraulics or remapping the engine etc
If your idea of land support is a well equipped mobile marine mechanic then I'm not your man.
(Not promising anything yet, just an expression of interest)
