Calling all RIB Competitiors
This is a chance of a lifetime!
The Ministry of Tourism for Egypt invites you to a RIB Rally in Sharm
El Sheikh.
The deal:
The Rally will take place either in May or November 2006. Advance
publicity of the event will shortly be released to the press and
it is expected
that there will be significant interest from all over Europe. The
RYA will be working closely with the organisers to assist in meeting
these
dates but the ultimate success of the event will depend on you the
competitor signing up early, all entry fees will initially be held
by the RYA and details of how to enter and the deposit required to
register will be sent to all of those who express an interest in
this unique event.
The event organisers have considerable experience in running large
rallies and for the past three years have organised the Pharaohs Rally
in the region which has attracted very large numbers of competitors
and is similar to the Paris Dakar Road Rally.
The organisers of the event will provide the following:
• Transport your RIB and race equipment in a container to Sharm
El Sheikh prior to the event and return to UK at the end of the event.
•
Provide insurance cover for the boat and equipment whilst in transit
•
Provide air travel to and from Sharm El Sheik for yourself and up to
three members of your team.
•
Provide full board hotel accommodation at the location for your entire
team
•
Provide extensive TV coverage of the event
•
Provide event clothing and promotional material
•
In addition to this fantastic offer the event organisers have agreed
to offer prize money for all of the classes racing.
