OK - so just to be clear then, Richard and I will coordinate with Duncan and Matt to get the two RIBs to Largs sometime early next week.
That means you can keep your back well rested, Susan :-)

That sounds good as well, perhaps easier to coordinate??? Will leave it up to you guys to decide.

Ian and I could probably take the two ribs down one evening next week, would work if we were both there should any manhandling be required at either end

I can help. Would probably need to be ahead of the event.?

I can help but it would have to be as a separate trip ahead of the?GP as I¡¯ll be towing the girls¡¯ boat on Thursday/Friday am and again on the Monday (plus airport pickup/dropoff for Irish boys).
Due to current?back trouble it would be helpful if there was someone around to help if the trailer needs moved by hand even a wee bit at either end. So ideal if I went at same time as other boat was going.
When do the VSRs need to be returned afterwards?
Susan
Still not sure what our movements are that weekend or whether we're doing the academy, will have a chat with Ian tomorrow

Hi all,
RYAS are lending us a couple of VSRs for the event and indeed they're going to need them down for the academy as well.? However they've lost all their Volvos just now and seem to be getting pool cars which won't get sorted and tow bars on in enough time
to take any ribs down.
We therefore need a couple of folk to take down the VSRs from Sailingfast near Falkirk to Largs.? They can be taken down any time from now on, just needs to be arranged with Duncan and Matt.? Is anyone heading down in that direction for work/pleasure and
can take a rib please.? Or anyone in central Scotland that could take an evening run down, RYAS or 29er class will pay fuel.?
I'm not down until Sunday and they're now putting on two coaches, Gillies and Anna so they need both boats there for Friday first thing.? Now got class boat coming down from Tay as well for the Irish boys.? Robb
The trailers are plated at 1,500kg and so your car needs to be able to tow a braked trailer of that weight.? My Focus can't but Passat can to give you an idea.? The actual weight is well under 1,000kg Matt said so not really that heavy but DVLA go by plated
weight of trailer.
Can a couple of folk put their hands up for this one please.? I know Robbie's taking down rib and 29er but copied him in just in case he's at Largs for any reason before then.?
Cheers
Bear
