Ocrda Race Weekend @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat

OCRDA Race Primary Rescue Team

What a weekend afloat that turned out to be!

We headed off to Torquay for the final round of the OCRDA powerboat racing with a very sketchy forecast and three fleets of jet bikes, pro cats and OCR boat (website).

The Plan: A Media Boat Becomes a Rescue Unit

The Highfield Patrol 600 (see specs below) was originally planned to be a media boat with two for the country’s finest aquatic photographers on board, Anthony from Iceman Images and Will from Snap.

Soon, however with the conditions it was apparent that the Patrol 600 would be use das primary rescue boat with the paramedic aboard and they picture boys shipped off to another willing host!

The rear locker was soon filled with emergency medical equipment alongside the spare clothing and emergency kit and a long board stowed alongside the console.

It was held in place buy a couple of fenders.

Fully Equipped for Safety

The rear locker also has a shower unit within which takes up quite a bit of the space.

It may well be removed for next season as the locker is carrying more and more equipment at events.

Wind, Waves, and Jet Skis

The forecast wasn’t wrong and the promised F 4-5 wind arrived just in time to start the jet ski races, at least it stayed dry!

There are some great images below from the afloat photographers with skis aiming for the sky.
