I have started a new thread for this topic so that
we can pool our anger.

I too have just had the dreaded "revised sailing" letter.
Remember that I, like Michael, booked in June 2005.
Instead of going at 1eleven1am on saturday, I am now booked on
the 22:30, due in at 1am (STEAM RACKET FOR 3AM!)
So, I have virtually lost a day, missing the first practice session
and leaving us cream crackered for the Billown races.
Am I angry.... nooooo.
I am incandescent!!
I tried to ring the boooking line and gave up. Probably a waste
of time anyway!!
Pamela saw who angry I was becoming and took the phone form me.
She phoned David Cretneys office and Earnshaws.
In both cases speaking to a PA and asking for a call back.
Wont hold my breath!!
Then P phoned a UK government department who showed interest.
They said that the RACKETC terms and conditions allow them to do
as they please.
BUT, this department WERE interested in finding out about the
monopoly situation and whether or not there is abuse going on.

So, I dont know if we can do anything, but I intend to try.

Any suggestions?


5,000 people out of 41,000 got these letters.
Why me and Ian with 100 years TT visits between us?

What is the real truth behind it?
The letter says that its to do with "harbour restrictions"
