Rob Beakhust

It’s with deep regret that we wish to inform you all about the sad loss of Rob Beakhust at lunchtime today, Rob has left us to join Annie who was the love of his life. I will give you more details about the funeral arrangements when they are available.

Poor Rob, saw him in Cowes and although he was smiling, he looked very tired.

Few have put so much effort into power boating as Annie & Rob, a huge loss to the sport, their friends & families.

Rob Beakhust RIP

A sad end to all that Annie & Rob did for our sport over many years.
A great team who helped keep the sport alive.
Rob never got over loosing Annie - and now they can be together again, forever.
RIP Rob.

A massive loss to our sport, losing Annie was bad enough, losing Rob as well is simply devastating.

A true Gent!

Our sincere sympathies to Rob's family - a true gentlemen who has gone to join his lady! The sport has lost a great couple who did so much for powerboat racing.

RIP Rob and Annie - together for ever!
