Hi folks,

Numbers are gradually increasing for the RIOW Race. So far I have received entries for Sandy Lady and Rascal.

I have received some communication from a number of members on the marks used and their coordinates. The original coordinates were taken from paper charts but I have since re-checked them against an electronic C-Map chart.

Poole Belle appears no longer to exist. So we will now start near 'George Hotel' 50 deg. 42.86'N 01 deg. 29.4'W situated East of Yarmouth Harbour Entrance. (Coordinates copied directly from Solent Cruising & Racing Association web site!)

The other coordinates are: Bridge 50 deg. 39'37"N, 001 deg. 36'53"; Bembridge Ledge:50 deg. 41'09", 001 deg. 02'49"; Tower 50 deg. 45'47", 001 deg. 16' 12".

The SIs on the web site will be updated.

regards

David Bamber
