Although Robos are not my favorites I read this with mixed feelings ok some could say serves them right but they do enjoy their sport and train hard for it My only gripe is their bad attitude and manners
Interesting though is why did the organisers let them start in bad conditions and also this incident does show how dangerous the tidal thames is we ALWAYS see solo Robos there with no safety equipment ie life preservers we have a 22 ft binnie but carry life jackets flares vhf etc because we are aware that the tidal river can be a very treachorous and dangerous environment
