Good point Dave - It seems if we had all raced in Bermuda it would be relevant to this discussion!

If anybody wants to come and show us how it's done I'll be more than glad to get you a ride in one of our B23s... By the looks of things Worlds in Tvedestrand seems to have been run on a lake?
But seriously, if anybody with proper experience is interested PM me and we can figure something out.

Funny you should say that - the wife suggested a "warm" holiday after all of the shit weather we've been having, not sure I would get all of that boat racing past her though!

Cookee, I have a pool house you can stay in and enjoy our sun. I was in U.K. last week, think the sun came out for 3 hours in 4 days.
To the point, what boats are running in Europe that beat the bats?
Here is a clip of Sunday's race, the new (white) bat, on the island has seen it wont be easy

Don't be fooled by the video clipping. We lost 800rpm and MORE than a couple mph from last week so when we find the problem we will be back. In full effect!!!

This is what we used to win a few Class III races - to be fair it was much quicker in the rough than the flat conditions shown in your video - I assume you're running offshore as well? There are any number of cats that are capable of beating batboats as well. It's a Lorne Campbell design.
When is the weather ok? We are looking for a holiday for about 10 days in September/October?

Still a bit flat for the BananaShark I think! Phantom 19 is probably the fastest of the Phantoms in that water and we make those as well!
I'll talk to "The Management" about visiting .............

They do not find anything hard about driving their new bat the motor was just down on RPM's but it has been sorted out now. With Stevie, Skippy or Damon in that boat it will be a force to recon with. When Damon and myself put our heads togeather it's not a problem beating guy's here. It was a nice race and is gonna be a better one REAL SOON!!!!!

We are just looking for the class win...and hopefully a good day we can try line honours. The way things are looking so far and gets even better....ON A GOOD DAY we will be able to break the class record. And the boat is very easy to drive....or at least to me it is! I must admit the year Chris broke down at 5 star island with the 150e-tec on the boat you guys are driving now i don't think anybody would have caught him. Not even the S-class! Was that a big motor or what!?!?
