Ian Pilkington and helpers have been spending the last few weeks training some of our club members for the Club final of the RYA/Honda RIB competition (see below). The club finals take place on Sat 19th July at 2pm.

The Concept
The Royal Yachting Association (RYA), through it’s affiliated clubs and organisations will again run a National Championship in Rigid Inflatable Boats (Rib’s) for juniors/youths. There will be fourteen Regional Finals and a National Final to be held at Southampton International Boatshow on Saturday September 13 2003. There will be two age groups 8 - 12 and 13 - 16. and the competition is open to both boys and girls. A competent adult, attached to a safety lanyard will be in the boat at all times. Each will be representing their club/organisation.

Local Heats Notts County SC on 19th July 2003
Local heats will take place at each club/organisation that wishes to participate, and they will run a competition at their premises, using their own boats and will then put forward their winners to their Regional Final, in one or both categories . The Regional finals, fourteen in all, will be held at a club/organisation that has suitable facilities. The RYA will help the club organise and support the event with two Honda powered Avon RIB’s to be used by the competitors.

The National Final will be held at Southampton International Boatshow on September 13 2003 and will take place in the RYA demonstration area.
