[Captain Chaos]

Went to see some racing yesterday. Finally got to meet a fellow boatmadder "Cyco" although i think i managed to pass-on my usual quota of misfortune!

After watching the hr long mens F1, F2, F3 and then the supporting (women & kids) races.........I have come to the conclusion, they are all fkin mental!

Cye & his newly assembled team are just launched & head out to the start line. His Bernico F2 looking (& sounding) really awesome.

#2

Yellow Bernico 19 "cool runnings" which i think suffered some kind of failure during the last lap.

foreground, martini coloured Ring (20) which was a safety boat.

 

[Tony Davis]

Those Bernico's are a little unreliable!

 

[Captain Chaos]

#3

Another Bernico 19 "Wishfull Thinkin". really nicely rigged boat.

The aftermarket Mariner alien cowl looked quite different.

#4

Those Bernico's are a little unreliable!

So is my parts supplier!

sorry for the pants zooooom. This picture was supposed to be of a new Cyclone 21.

I couldnt beleive how flat this single engine boat was able to run in the ruff stuff!

#5

Cyclone Boat Co.'s very own twin rig.

This thing was a fkin flying machine!!!!!!!!!! well untill it stopped working that is.

you can just see a p21 "Bubblin hot" top left

 

[BREN]

cool runings is at hunstanton quite often

#6

"supersonic" is (I think) a Connelly from Australia. I'm pretty sure it used to have a V12 lambo in it during a previous life. I waas told by its owner its now a pleasure boat!...........hence where i was first introduced to the merc promax.

you can just see Bazza's all new Cyclone at the top of the picture. I tried to get a better picture, but the blasted thing wouldnt stay still

Baz..........i did come over to say hello......but got one of your crew as you where off somewhere!

 

[BREN]

cool runings is at hunstanton quite often

if it is the guy i'm thinking of he used to have a ring 21 called chiller.
bubblin hot also in hunstanton quite often,along with kim lumley's under pressure

#7

"Mayhem" not racing that day. Its a P20 that was bought as a complete write-off. Thw owners done a fair "home" repair an d stuck a 250+hp 'rude on it......fkin nutter!

Pits in the background.

Blue p21 (got some tips from that boat ) and Ring 21 "double impact" that run in the juniors

 

[Captain Chaos]

#8 (thats all folks!)

A personal favorite, for obvious reasons. It was a close run thing between this boat and "here on business"/ "the edge". But i fkin love this P21.

I'd like to think i've got somewhere close to emulating this with mine, but on a thorough chaos examination, its obvious to me that several more thousands where availible to the owner of "nemesis" when it was built/ rigged.

Red Cyclone & Ring 20C "Chiller" in the background.

Bren, "Chiller" is ex-hunstanton, but is now owned by a member of the stone. Wishfull thinking is owned by GB watersports and i think Cool Runnings is maintained by them. As they are in peterborough, i'm sure hunstanton is thier local patch?
