**Please note, this is info for the 2011 event.**

This is a fun new event, involving Ribs  capable of a minimum speed of 20 knots setting off from Hamble to 5 different buoys in the Solent where they collect a poker card and receive the co-ordinates of the next buoy.  They then return and meet up at The King & Queen, to see which team has the winning poker hand. Wild Cards and the Joker in the pack will also win prizes, all generously sponsored by JM Yachting. All money raised goes to the Hamble Lifeboat.
