Just for Fun......

There are negatives and positives in everything in life.

For instance we hope to have a go at the record for circumnavigating Ireland in 2009. Thats about 670 nautical miles or nearly 800 statute miles. Either way, it's a long run in one go and with Stan navigating will probably take longer.

So we get to go around Ireland but you get to see nothing.

So we have decided to organise a RIB Rally around Ireland in June. We have or will have invited just about anybody we know crazy enough to attempt 6 days around Ireland in a RIB. In case your worried, it's not the boat bit I'm worried about. It's the stopping off for a quick cup of "Tea", followed by another days high speed Ribbing around to the next watering hole. Needs must but I'm gettinmg old.

So, if your feeling slightly suicidal because the credit crunch has gripped you tighter than your comfortable with, then there is only one thing to do. Come along for the spin. Lighten the load on life and help Stan figure out how best to light a ciggies at 40 knots.

We hope to do the trip in early June starting in Cork, heading west, and stopping in Killybegs along the way for tea. We know a nice man there.

If you are interested let us know.

Team Pulsar Racing to Attempt Round Ireland Record in 2009

Team Pulsar Racing announced today they intend to have a go at the Round Ireland Record in 2009. They have just completed The Round Britain Offshore Powerboat Race in June and managed to complete the 1400 mile course with out any problems. .
“We had a complete blast racing around Britain and enjoyed every minute” said Justin Mc Inerney who skippered their Humber RIB Wolf during the race.

The whole summer has been spent planning and scheming and it was decided that the next thing to do was attempt the record for Round Ireland. The Team are planning to attempt the run using their Humber 8.5m Offshore RIB “Wolf” which was one of the boats that completed the Round Britain Race.

There is some work required to prepare the boat so that it has a real shot at the record. Something was mumbled about a new engine and some re-design work required on the console but the Team are keeping their cards close to there chest right now.

It is hoped that an attempt will be made early in the summer but this is entirely weather dependant. The boat will be prepared over the winter and will be sea trialled in March.

Denis Dillon from the ISA and the official record keeper under UIM International Racing guidelines is assisting with the formalities and will ensure that the record attempt is completed within UIM regulations.

Let the planning begin.

And the Lunacy prevails....

I'm back..............

It has been very difficult to get back online and start updating the blog so apologies .

Been busy trying to lead a normal life. Took the Family on holidays, tried working for a change, went to Southampton for the launch of the RB08 movie and met some interesting people.

And what do you know it's November already, and sher, summer is only around the corner. Winter keeps getting shorter thank goodness.

I have lots to update and will endeavour to do so in the coming months. We have a whole story to tell about the Race, our endeavours and what happened. In short, great fun, great people, great success. More later.

However, am I boring or just bored? The wife bought me slippers, and looked strangely at me. Something is up, she is trying to tame me......... aaaarggghhh.

So, in response I'm off with my able crew to have a go at the Round Ireland Record in 2009. Yes, we are going to race around the country at some point to see if we can get back sometime before we set off. It's the tides.....

We are also planning a RIB rally around Ireland at the beginning of June if anyone is interested. We hope to take 5-6 days and visit strange and interesting places around our wonderful Island and make a few new friends along the way.


More later. Mac.
