Jet skiers prove they have the Wight Stuff

JET skiers made waves around the Island on Saturday in a bid to raise cash for Help for Heroes.

More than 40 took part in the Wight Stuff rally, which was in its sixth year.

The event was organised by the Personal Watercraft Partnership and the Royal Yachting Association as an opportunity not only to raise cash for charity but to demonstrate safe jet ski riding.

The group left from Daedalus Slipway, Lee-on-the-Solent, at around 10am and completed the 60-mile clockwise circumnavigation in around six hours, including fuel and food stops.
