Something to cheer you up on a wet & miserable day, one of the most nerve tingling powerboat films ever, IMHO.

(Apache 41 from back in the day)

Turn up the volume, make maximum screen, sit back and enjoy.

Yup, and I still have the video in my loft which I lent you to copy. I posted it again as I love it and hope others do to. It's a prime example of brilliant trimming at high speed in serious seas and needs watching at least once a year.
