Royal marines

May be worth watching


Over the two day period 27th and 28th September the Royal Marines will be carrying out sea trials on their new jet engine high speed ribs within the Torridge Taw Estuary. They will need to run these at top speed so please be warned and keep out of their way. They will limit their inconvenience to other boat users as much as possible but these trials must go ahead. They will try and limit their wash where they can but they must go fast for these trials to be effective.
