RYA Scotland Powerboat Forum 2010

The purpose behind the Powerboat Forum is to bring together all power boaters from across Scotland to meet and encourage the development of skill, knowledge and communication in relation to powerboats and their use.

This conference is aimed at individuals, Clubs and Groups, Commercial organizations, Instructors and Trainers, RYA membership is not required to attend the event

As this conference is the first of its type in Scotland, a range of subjects have been chosen to inform, and encourage the use of powerboats.

We’ve worked hard to make this conference as accessible as possible, and we are always happy to include any person with an interest in power boating or who are planning to become involved in power boating.

Please do share this programme with anyone you think may be interested.

Thanks for your interest.
Yes the XS is now sold as we maybe changing class but cannot say at this time which class.
We are very very actively looking for a new boat and only 6 weeks to do it before the first race and its true we may not be ready for that one.
We are planning to use the next boat for RB2011 so we need to get it right so Scotts not rushing in to it as a couple of boats have been available but have not fitted into the class right to be winners.
If we have a boat near the top end of the class power and weight wise that handles right and old red mist Scott driving barring a breakdown we should be in a position to get on the top step which which we missed out on a couple of times this year namly spinning out after leading the Needles race because of the trim tab and a return fuel line coming off after leading Cowes Torquay Cowes after 1/2 distance.

I think that thought will stay with the team for the rest of our lives, the day we nearly won the Cowes race as the under dogs.
Life goes on and as above we will be there again this year trying our best.
Thanks for the support
