For those who are interested, below is a link to the web site for the Offshore Superboat Championships Australia, as the series is now called here.
The season has just completed, with another championship to the Maritimo team of Tom Barry-Cotter and Pal Virik-Nilson, running under the Mustang name (a boat manufacturer here just bought by Bill Barry-Cotter).
There were 5 Class 1 boats and five Superboat "Lite" boats (running the standard 525 Mercruisers) so the Championships are looking pretty healthy. The Qatar team, including Sheik Hassan and Steve Curtis, ran a few races in a boat provided by Martimo.
