Rib Run to raise vital funds

A FLEET of speedboats will cross the English channel in May in a fundraising endurance voyage for the RNLI.

Up to 50 crew on board 15 ribs (rigid inflatable boats) will set off from Kinsale at 8am on May 5.

They will spend up to 12 hours at sea in tough conditions to complete the 400-nautical mile voyage to Aberystwyth.
