On the 11/12 of July 09 it is proposed to run a charity rib run from Waterford bridge to O'Connell bridge Dublin in aid of Temple St. Children's Hospital.
The event is being run in association with Waterford Motorboat and Yacht club.

Up to 20 ribs will leave Waterford on Saturday morning, bound for Wexford harbour where there will be a charity BBQ that evening in Wexford Harbour Boat Club.
On Sunday we will visit Court town / Arklow & Dun Laoghaire fund raising along the way arriving at O'Connell bridge in Dublin. The event will culminate at Poolbeg Yacht and Boat Club on Sunday evening where all facilities are available.
Our aim is to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause.
While numbers are limited, we are currently looking for new entries.
We hope to have a crew of six for each boat and a target of €250.00 for sponsorship has been set for each crew member, potentially raising €30000.00 for Temple Street. We will be providing participants with official Temple Street sponsorship forms to help with fund raising.
This should be a great fun event with plenty of stops along the away and will provide a great opportunity to give your rib (and yourself) a decent stretch within the safety of a large group.
Interested parties can contact me by email at

The event is a rib run, not a race and safety will of course be paramount. All participating craft will undergo an RNLI sea check prior to departure and powerboat level 2 is the minimum requirement for skippers, also at least one crew member must hold a valid VHF license. We intend to operate a “buddy system” in case of mechanical problems and the event will only go ahead if our safety officer deems the conditions to be suitable. With this in mind, we have set a lower size limit on participating ribs at five meters L.O.A.
We would of course be very grateful if you could make a donation through the link below.

Finally I would like to thank Boards for supporting this worthy cause.
Regards,
Mark.
