In order to comply with the Guinness world record attempt, we need your help.
We are short of one or two people to take photos and video the start and finish from the Committee Boat. There role is outlines below.
Video of the event. We need to ensure that the start and finish of the race is recorded by video. You do not need to record the whole race.
Take photos of the event, preferably of the start line where the boats are massed. If possible for publicity, a group shot (or shots) on land would be fantastic with your club flag in front of the group etc.
We need two independent witnesses (must be non members and not family members of anyone racing) They will need to be on the rib while it measures the course using GPS, then witness the race start, recording of results and the finish from the Committee boat. Do you know anyone?
All clubs wishing to enter the Guinness world record attempt MUST have 2 independent witnesses. We will provide statements for them to sign. These signed statements will be required following the event.
Independent witnesses cannot be members of the club and cannot be linked to the race in any way. i.e. family taking part in the race.

I have lost my Safety Bag, which I use during RS Feva and Team Racing training. Last seen Friday 18th July.
It is a Black Gill 10 L Dry bag with ‘Nick Alston’ and Safety Bag’ written on it. It contains everything you need to help ensure the youngster’s safety.
Any information on its whereabouts would be most appreciated.
Thank you, Nick – [email protected] 07815113459
