Betcha no one can tell me where there was once a Skip class powerboat race a few years back!
Couple of clues ...
Jim Davison drove one of them.

Skip Racing

They used to hold it at Exeter Docks during the powerboat racing. I never raced there but my brother did when he raced for Brian Grimshaw from Topsham!!
