[ScottB]

All the big boys broke I guess, you think this guys getting a new boat with the winnings

With the new format of a staggered start, and the accompanying prize monies significantly increased to tempt more competition to the 2005 Carib Great Race, it was “Soul Rebel”, a 20ft Formula III powered by a 225 Outboard Mercury, driven by Phillip Tardieu and throttled by Wayne Hannock, competing in the Production 1 Class, who achieved the upset when they were the first boat into Tobago and across the finish line to cop the TT$100,000.00 prize.

In 2nd place was another Production 1 entrant, “Matrix”, followed in 3rd by the “X” Class “Dingolay”.

The other placings were as follows: (4) Extreme: A-Class, (5) Mr. Solo: M-Class,

(6) Hero 1: Pirogue, (7) Predator II: Pirogue, (8) BAICO I: Sports II,

(9) Toyota White Heat: B-Class, (10) BAICO II: C-Class.

Wow!

Don't get too excited. 100,000 TT is equal to $10,000 US. Still a nice purse and one hell of an upset.

First time in many many years Mr Solo didn't win.

I just did the conversion $15,698 , Not quite 100k but I bet the guys in the 20ft formula are jacked

Formula III is the brand of boat, built locally on Trinidad.
