Comments from Philip Boarer:
Q:  What attracted you to enter The Great British RIB Rally 2010?
A:  An adventure not to be missed, the freedom to cruise with like minded fools.
Q:  What’s your normal day job?
A:  Industrial/commercial fire detection or West Wittering on a windy day.
Q:  Have you ever done anything this adventurous before?
A:  Lucky enough to race in The 2008 Round Britain Powerboat Race and lots of cruises, but the Great BRITISH Rib Rally should top it off nicely, thank you!
Q:  Which part of the Rally are you most looking forward to?
A:  Irish coastline, going over the top and seeing Jim’s face as we come back into the Solent after 2 weeks at sea, thinking, we actually did it.
Q:  What are you going to miss most during the Rally?
A:  A force 6 SW, high tide at West Wittering knowing I have missed a good day down at the office and without doubt the Wife and Herbert's. 
Q:  What’s your most favourite thing about your RIB?
A:  The noisy open exhausts when I start the old girl up, sorry -
Q:  What kind of music will you listen to on your way round?
A:  That’s Jim department, better go and get a stereo fitted.
