Skiff Draw Sold Out at TIBS!

It's true Folks! The 300 tickets for the raffle to win a skiff built in our Boats 4 Folks, Kids-at-Risk programme were all sold by 7 pm today (Friday 17th) and we will hold the draw to find the winner tomorrow afternoon. Our FAMOUS YACHTING PERSON who will be pulling the tickets will be none other than that giant of the boat handling training world, Dusty Miller!

Draw time will be between 3 and 4 but we are not sure yet whether it will be held at The Lake where Dusty is presiding, or at our booth in the South Foyer.

the unfinished and finished skiffs really tell the story...

and so did this sign today!

Meanwhile we had some great conversations with people who would like to get involved and help move the big vision forward.


Perhaps the biggest hit in our booth is the MiniMax Sea-Flea. It has been unbelievable how many guys have run into the booth saying they built one of these and what fun they had with it.

There is signage in the booth looking for families who would like to build on of these fun little boats in our Boatshop this winter - the response has been such that we had better get at it! Stay tuned as we sort the details out, but if you are interested in doing this yourself better let us know!

This is a real hit with everyone!



great response from this sign

TNT and MINIMAX, two parts of the Hopper Racing Team Fleet!

If you are having a sinking feeling about missing out on this draw - fear not! There are two unfinished skiffs in the shop and we will begin another draw for the second one tomorrow at TIBS.
