An astute chap is Goodwin, he was clearly trying to deflect the Spanish away from an Irish BS merchant.

Many of you will remember Marcus Bradshaw from his time in Honda racing. He's just sent us in the very first pictures of his entirely new build which was revealed at the recent Dubai boat show. He'll be racing in Cruiser Class with this 34', 3 x Honda 250hp, Dubai-built entry. The boat was built by Al Suwaidi Marine where Marcus is the general manager.

Whoa Carl, you are going back a few years. You are talking about Cruiser racing in the early/mid '80's. That's when we had to have all that rubbish on board. Cruiser racing as you know was huge, we used to run in fleets of 15/18 boats at times. Minster Heatwave was such a great boat, 5th overall in the 1984 RB race. It's top speed was in the early 60's, I know because I used to chase it although it was not in my class. Those were the days of the Power Cruiser Racing Association - PCRA - still have the badge that I eventually cut off my race suit! Sad isn't it.
Apologies for reminiscing on your thread Blimp.
ML.

The new Vector Racing V40R build continues in Canada. She takes to the water in 3 weeks for sea trials. (Big announcement expected from them very soon regarding a major team partnership)

***VENUE UPDATE***
Teams, we've just confirmed a change of location for one of our venues. The Puerto Banus stop will be changed to Malaga. As many of you were already aware, the space in Puerto Banus was very tight and it was a challenge to find room for everything (including support trucks). Malaga is a far better solution and our partners there are really looking forward to hosting us all. Further details to follow - including hotel offers, site details etc. - but if you want a sneak peak, have a look here: http://www.muelleuno.com/

I'm assuming that there will be another stop between Malaga and St Tropez, has that venue been decided on yet - Alicante, Valencia or Palma in Mallorca? Just curious.

Large Bladder Fuel Tank
I have a large Bladder fuel tank I would think its 200 litres plus, It's like new. I would think it would be perfect for anyone needing extra fuel range for the Venture Cup as it can be secured pretty much anywhere and needs no breather pipe. Also handy if you want to move weight about to balance the boat. I will try to post picture's and dimensions. Please PM me if interested 250 ONO
