Regional Final

The East Midlands final was held at Notts County Sailing Club on Saturday May 30th, with Joshua East and Richard Kelsall representing Banbury.

Josh was competing with four others in the 8 to 12 group, and Rich with three others in the 13 to 16 group.

Josh and Rich drove really well, but unfamiliarity with a 50hp 4.7m centre console RIB meant there was a steep learning curve! There was also some experienced, well-practised competition.

Unfortunately we won't be going to Southampton this year.

A fuller report will be found in the member's area.

 

RYA information

The Concept

The RYA (Royal Yachting Association), through its affiliated clubs, organisations and training centres, is running a National Championship in Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) for juniors/youths. There will be sixteen Regional Finals and a National Final to be held at the Southampton International Boat Show on 21st September 2008.

There are two age groups 8–12 and 13–16. This is the age of the entrant at the time of the national final: for the 8–12 year olds, the competitor should not have had their 13th birthday before 22nd September 2008, and in the 13–16 year old section they should not have had their 17th birthday before 22nd September 2008. The competition is open to both boys and girls, each will be representing their club. There is a competent adult, attached to a safety lanyard in the boat at all times.

National Final

The National Final will be held at Southampton International Boat Show on Sunday, 21st September 2008 in the RYA demonstration area. The RYA will organise and co-ordinate all aspects of the Final.
