Hi Sham, no but I am off to see the guys on Sunday and will meet hopefully meet some of them over lunch, then watch the racing from the water on Sunday. This is something that all Albatross owners have looked forward to for years. Not only that they will be able to drive at speed, something that is rare in the UK now. If this becomes an annual event and I do not see why it should not be, the Albatross boats will appreciate in value for sure.

The good bit is that it is being held on the very water that the boats were built on, tried and developed and the original Albatross buildings are just along the road, brilliant  :D
