TD got a call late saturday with a Swiss team in search of a replacement transom assy for their nice shiny Pantera, they busted one in the rough race on sat.

As ever he obliged with an 8am delivery to the pits Sunday, it was all worth while, as they got a second place overall for their efforts.

Another victim of the saturday race was this very sad Italian team, Seems JW did the wiring!

Here's the pot(s) they're all after

Some vintage V6 Isotta Fraschini racing diesels in a CUV (also vintage)

More vintage stuff, in the form of what I think is an Apache 41

Don't let anyone tell you a Yamaha sadle is unbreakable! this is the boat which had the fire, so if nothing else, the fire probably stopped them just short of losing an engine.

Not sure if JW was also responsible for the welding!

Start boat was our very own "Gingerboyz" in Dawn Treader

Simon Johnston was there with his 32 Active Thunder Cat.
