Just spoke to the Garmin chaps at Hamble Point, they had a new turbo flown in from Sweden today, but were having problems in testing with keeping the pipes on it.

Gee is burning the midnight oil at Gosport, but hopefully will be in the water at 7.30 in the morning.

Cinzano is already in Cowes, trying to burn off that Scottish petrol!

Being totally selfish I Prayed for rain wind fire and brimstone until around 2PM then sunshine for all those couples getting hitched today for perfic wedding pics, this because being in retail I have to work and wanted it postponed till Sunday
however it was not to be and Bournemouth bay was as flat as a pancake with a touch of sun at around 10.30am when in the very distance you could see the fleet take off past the Needles with a helicopter over head, however from my position on Bournemouth cliff tops it was hard to make out each boat even with my supper bins that can see the American flag on the moon, defo an offshore event for the racers this one but all credit to everyone and ML for getting the show on the road or water in this case

Heard Buzzi won in FPT, HoneyParty went pop and is in Exeter apparently.
That's all I know...

Buzzi wins his last race

Buzzi wins his last race

The 47th Cowes-Torquay-Cowes offshore powerboat race took place in perfect sea conditions on Saturday. The fleet of 37 boats left the Cowes Yacht Haven before the fleet was taken down in convoy for a rolling start at North Head buoy West of Hurst Spit. 24 boats took part in the main event to Torquay with 13 smaller craft racing to Poole and back. For the first time in two decades the race ran non stop without re-fuelling in Torquay.

The early leader Honey Party driven by Richard Carr was well placed on the Westward run until a power failure forced his retirement six miles South of Exmouth. The lead from then on became a battle between the two Italian entries, Fabio Buzzi, and Mario Invernizzi driving Red FPT and Silicon Fire.

It was bow to bow back to the Cowes finish with Buzzi taking 2hours 18minutes 5 seconds to cover the 184 mile course winning by a mere four seconds over his fellow countryman Invernizzi time of 2 hours 18minutes 9seconds. Buzzi's performance represented an average speed of 91.01mph - the second fastest in the 46 year history of the event. Third place was taken Andy Macateer, Nick Wilner, Steve Macher and Will Barrett driving Venturer with a time of 2hours 36minutes 7seconds.

79 year old Keith Schellenberg aboard Yellowdrama, the oldest competitor in the race, was placed second in his class. Schellenberg first took part in the Cowes-Torquay race in 1962 aboard Blue Moppie, the design of which changed the face of the sport with its deep vee hull and ability to achieve high performances in rough conditions

First over the line in the Cowes-Poole-Cowes race was Team Conrad driven by Daniel Cramphorn,, Kim Collins & Barry Keen who completed the shorted course in 31minutes 45 seconds setting an average of 79.38 mph. Second slot was filled by Bat out of Hell crewed by Mark Brewster & Lance Selby with third going to Andy Twemlow and Neil Jackson aboard Maverick.

James Sydenham & Sally Osborne driving Project Racing ran out of fuel 300 yards short of the of the finish and were forced to paddle their boat over the line to secure their sixth place.

Mike Lloyd, Event Director said, 'I followed the race all the way to Bridport by helicopter and watched crews enjoying themselves. We were blessed with great weather and ideal sea conditions and are already looking forward to coming back to Cowes next year.'

We popped over to Torquay to see the spectacle and it was AMAZING......................We saw Team honey party come by which was awesome along with about 15 other boats after.

It was cool seeing Mr Buzzi fly by as well as the Cinzano boat

Nice seeing Mr Fuller and co in Swipewipes come by, similar to when they came by Salcombe in the Round Britain race........................................Next time wave Jon could ya

Can I just say a big 'You are awsome dude' to the group of people who organised the event, as it was bloody brilliant.

THAT IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT AWESOME
