CANNONBALL KICKED INTO TOUCH
MIke Lloyd's latest scheme abandoned through lack of interest
David Sewell
We must confess when Mike Lloyd announced that he was organising a Round Britain Cannonball Run, it didn't arouse much enthusiasm in the RBI office. Why? Because the Round Britain adventure was no longer an adventure.
It was old hat and regardless how you wrapped it up - it was no surprise there was little interest.
Although the time is not right at the moment, we still think a properly funded and organised Cowes - Monte Carlo race has the potential to generate much public interest but it will cost a fortune to promote it and make it a success.
There are several successful major marathon yacht races each year so a 'once every five years' Cowes - Monte Carlo is possible in the right hands.
