Sorry I couldn't help myself - feeling over the moon about our result on Sunday, having lapped the entire field except the other BananaShark, it was almost the perfect result although we don't feel to bad about being beaten in the RIB class by the big diesel RIB - he went the wrong way and had to make up a huge amount of ground to get past us and he did, so well done to the Wilby's.

As mentioned elsewhere, Ian Stirlings result was excellent, was the result of a well setup boat, and a very good and hugely experienced driver, Well done! I suspect he backed right off though, and the first 2 or 3 laps we were circulating very closely, it was great to glance over and see that Phantom flying straight and level most of the time, I think it was probably only our extra length that gave us the advantage!

Looking forward to "LA", and continuing the fight!
 
well done cookee i was goin to post a concratulations message but i never got round to it so concratulations!!! i was watching you race at ramsgate the boat was absolutly flying and it looked great!!

i was racing in the fletchers at the weekend as well and it was quite ruff off the beach on sunday and one of the drivers hert his back and neck and they had to take him to hospital i was also taken off on a stretcher but they let me out about half an hour later.

we didnt have such a good weekend but i did see a few boat mad members including jf in his boat mad hat!!
 
Definately - congrats Cookee.

I was looking out for K9 - where were you hiding?
 
Thanks to both of you - K9, sorry to hear your weekend didn't go well, better luck next time! Matt, I'm sure that you'll be flying in the next race - hopefully a bit flatter for you!
 
Excellent results Cookee.

Lot of hard work doing your own projects - but when it does come all together it feels so much better - you win in so many different ways!
