RIB CHALLANGE - 2007 BLITHFIELD SAILING CLUB - MIDLANDS FINAL

Honda Youth RIB Challenge


A competition designed to attract youngsters into the sport of powerboating. With a first prize of an Avon 5.5m RIB with 40hp Honda four-stroke outboard for the club of the winner.

With the finals being held at the Southampton Boat Show later in the year, the West Midlands Regional Finals are to be held at Blithfield Sailing Club on Saturday 1st September 2007. Come along and watch - there are some very tallented youngsters taking part.

There were two heats, 8 to 12 years and 13 to 16 years.

There are two categories (age groups), 8 – 12s and 13 – 16s who will compete in Avon 5.5m RIBs with 40hp Honda four-stroke outboards. The contestants will complete a preset course consisting of slaloms, man-overboard and a reversing manoeuvre. Although speed is of the essence, smoothness and skill are the attributes, which will most assist the winner.

There is a Powerboat Instructor in each boat at all times attached to a safety lanyard / killcord.

 

 

Members of the Regional Training Team are more than willing to attend clubs to assist in the preparation of candidates for the Regional Finals.

 

The 2007 National Finals will be held at:

The Southampton International Boat Show
