South West Sports Boat Rally 2015

South West Sports Boat Rally 2015
May 23rd, 24th & 25th in Torbay South Devon.

I just wanted to introduce our non-profit 2015 sports boat rally. Although originally a Fletcher rally, we’ve now changed and are open to all makes of boats.

The event was started with the desire to meet like minded enthusiasts, cruise with the added confidence of other boats and to share some of the diverse and exciting waters around South Devon. Since our first rally in 2011 our event has gone from strength to strength with a fantastic turnout in 2014. We are now holding our fifth rally in May and have a great schedule lined up with sea runs, a river trip, beach BBQ, raffle and much more.

We even hire the events pontoon for the whole weekend to make things easy and relaxed.

The rally is open to all sports boats 25' and under, but most are in the 15'-19' category. It's a great opportunity to meet new friends, see other boats, cruise in company and just have a great time.
See our website for full details and registration: www.swfbr.org.uk

Thanks.

Nick Burnham @ MBY has been running his excellent 'Born Again Boater' blog for a little while now, but as he came to the last Fletcher & sports boat rally, he decided to theme his recent blog on the topic. Well worth a read as it highlights the fun we have at the rally:

The link will also get you to his other blogs which make for great reading too.

I wish something like this was going on in Cornwall, I can find very little organised activitey wise in Cornwall....especially for the smaller boat.

We currently have boats coming from as far as Sheffield and Essex so Cornwall is a walk in the park if you want to come along

Didn't realise just how much I missed Brixham until I read Nicks blog.

Hope you have a good turn out and even better weather

We're up to about 20 boats, so should be a great weekend.

This is a really old thread. We had a 2016 thread running too but the event was at the end of May - and it was absolutely brilliant. If you want to keep up to date with the event then see out website at http://www.swsbr.co.uk/.
Thanks,
