Testing

Pre-season testing
Bit later than hoped for - but looking at a pre-season test day on 15th May if anyone interested. I will be trying out my catamaran with Optimax.

Would be meet up at Lymington. Got a few other likely boats and would also take our RIB along so could be a good way to do some matched testing / prop changes etc with some safety cover.

If interested let me know and I will arrange more details.

Anyone welcome, hard boats, RIBs etc. Don't have to be race boats to come along.

Adam

Cheers

Hi Adam,

Not 100% sure we can make it but would like to be pencilled in please. Would be good to see you!

(Matt, we could give you a lift from Soton to Lymington if you can bear to be seen in a RIB! )

Hope all goes brilliantly!

Huh! Well if our boat isn't good enough for you...! See you on the water then.

P.S. Is your lift leaving from the same place we are?

The boat's plenty good enough, (especially since I heard a rumour it's an ex raceboat), but ya know I don't like getting cold or wet.

One of our recent passengers survived a circumnavigation of IOW without getting cold or wet wearing just jeans and a jacket (and a lifejacket, of course!). So there!
