nice to see powerboating prime time, of course we had to win, as with any script, hoped it showed powerboati ng in a good light

Thought they played Drew a bit tall. And the chap playing Martin Lai looked nothing like him.

Spotted the fact that you are standing in front of the Fountain at Salterns 1 month before I purchased it.........

But I didn't see You !!

I was just about to go to bed when I saw the start of that, ended up watching the whole thing!!

So was it actually closely based on a real guy and a true story? Interesting program and great to see powerboats on the telly

Yes Jan is a racer and was in the Cowes Torquay!

Chris Davies · 07-09-2010, 09:03 AM

He won the Cowes-Poole-Cowes race with Dean Gibbs and Dave Brown.

Don't know when if ever it will reach the screens here so I read the synopsis on Wikipedia. What a fascinating and harrowing story.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it "Can not be viewed outside of the UK." Guess I'll have to wait and see if it ever turns up here.

If you do a Google search of "U be dead", it will lead to all the media reports about the actual case when it happened a couple of years ago.

A command of Russian would be useful - although you get to see the boats!

motorvator · 07-09-2010, 08:54 PM

Ben, Go here http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/ and then copy and paste the link I gave you before in.

Voila they think you are British

and therefore capable of racing a boat in more than a 1 foot swell

BaQa! If only my Russian was as good as my Klingon.

Thanks again, will do. And don't try to scare me. Everyone knows there's no such thing as a swell over 1 foot.
