Last year Solent Scurry Racing had great potential but despite signs of high standards 'Grasped defeat from the claws of victory!' We did put more effort into PR for TSYT in the Tiger Tiger nightclub, until 4am. The event raised over £5k for the Tall Ships Youth Trust.
In 2007 we hope to have at least two vessels in the race.
