Dennis,

Many thanks for the summary......, and yes, putting four blades on was a mistake........:(. Interestingly the two bladed prop has the same pitch and diameter

I do hope that the event runs next year especially as I now have a working boat and a cunning plan...:). The tender challenge is interesting and deserves more entrants. More publicity and explaining how easy it is to put something together would really help boost the numbers

I was intrigued to hear about the approach from the University. In some ways for the unlimited event, this is the key to getting more entrants  - as university and school projects, people who have the time to do something whacky.........

You did mention speeds. Removing that float added another 1.2mph  - result. For the CCC 600, can I ask what the speed of  Chicken Nugget  verses Velociraptor was?

Here's to next year (providing my rather public cremation of one of their 36v hammer drills does not put off the sponsor)

Simon.

p.s. if you are doing another informal race let us know......
