For the other 7 teams
the start was near perfect but it didn't take long
for the debris in the sea
bought down from all
over the place to take its
toll on at least one of the
Phantom’s. Well done to
all teams that took part
and made the effort.
It clearly illustrates that if
you want winter powerboat
fun - Devon is the place to
be.
New Years Day Single
Seater’s FUN RUN was a
wash out due to the
weather.
So a decision was made
that we should still run the
event but not until Saturday the 4th January,
which again similar to
Boxing Day proved to a
great day weather wise.
A good few single
seater mono hulls went playing today, but don't be mislead by the orange helmets,
this was not a race but a
rally and the hats were worn
to keep the crews ears
warm. Unquote.
And yes with 15 boats starting this was a mammoth
task for the safety boats,
timekeepers, start and finish
pit crews etc—A huge
thanks to go out to all those
that help out who never get
mentioned, David, Chris,
Sambo, Tim, Steve, Neil,
Adam and anyone else who
I may have forgot.
By the end of the 3 heats
and still with a good tide,
recovery of the remaining 6
boats was easy due to getting the other 9 boats out at
various times throughout the
event. In typical EPBSC
style it was all down to Aby’s
for breakfast.
Again as mentioned in
Raceboat international.com Quote
