We were racing Quicksilver a 19ft Avenger with a Merc 200.

Bloody hard the water at race speed, still got the slo-mo pictures somewhere.

First aid was spot on- pulled into the recue boat with a boathook then got offered a can of grolsch.

Happy days

Steve

Hi Paul, still need the transom done but hoping to get out there this season.

Simon (at my age) just how old are you!! At least I am still built for speed.
I remember passing you in the rough last year in my Sunseeker taking photo's, nearly spilt my drink as well.


Age is irrelevant you can tell the men from the boys from the size of their toys

I feel like I did at 20- just a nipper really.
Age is just a number Steve-you are as old as you feel

Aye and when you stop feeling you are old.

Hopefully not too many race dates will be changed this year, its a bugger trying to get time off with the tests the way they are at the moment.

Still the overtime is handy toward the cat fund.
