Wow the pink boat is famous! seems to be mixed reaction from the photo few people have put a price on my head, as my crew is not *cough* wearing a life jacket, and the guys at yachts and yachting didn't notice. Where we breaking the rules not too sure.

Pretty certain Salcombe Week Si allow you to have the bouancy aid in teh boat, not worn. John Murrell will confirm!

Where can I see the picture of the pink machine?

Alan, with effect from 8th April the Harbour Office are enforcing new EU regulations regarding the wearing of bouyancy aids - males are required to wear one positioned approximately just above waist height, whilst females are required to wear two, to be positioned across the chest. I am being requested to carry out spot checks to ensure that the latter requirements are met!!!

And no Mark won't be shot at dawn..........................
