Not much going on at Coniston this year with hardly any boats entered so far. I wonder if the new licence requirements have affected the entrys.

No one said it was an "OCR" engine !! Just OCR "Boat" !!

Thanks to Nico Bertels of Bernicio International and Nico Vaneckland Merc-Racing.Com
As well as all the volunteers that make records week possible.

In some fairly horrendous weather with my Son David in passenger seat F2 Bernico 2.5 Merc we achieved.

99.155 South
102.424 North
100.79 Average

Well done Bob, as I left you were doing 91 and 94 about 3pm ish.

How high is the water this year!!

Take it the lack of boats compared to last year is due to the weather and the licence change.
