To echo what others have said, another great Cardiff event finally we were blessed with near perfect weather.

My thanks to Chris & Penny Harris & Mike Tarry for selflessly giving up a lot of their time (& boating) both before & at the event so others might have a great time. Also to others who helped with recovery & at other various times. It was a treat to see & meet so many new members & their boats amongst the 40 odd that came along.

Well done all, a fabulous event. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

P.S. Why oh why don't people follow what is said in the drivers briefing? :grrr:

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Thank you to everyone involved for a brilliant weekend, everything was very well organised and it was nice to be on the water with some gorgeous looking boats!

This was my first CMBA event and we all felt very welcomed, can't wait for the next one now!

Cheers

Excellent videos. Always wondered what Chairman Chris was saying about our boat while we were on the water.
