Another Donzi headed for P1

Club Italia Offshore is replacing its ageing diesel powered Apache 41 with something a bit newer.

I believe the Zr comp that Donzi was running around the Poker Run circut last year is also going to be racing as well.

They Modify the cockpit area, the Donzi canopy was cut-off.

My guess would be the canopy on 'Lightning Strikes' will be modified to look something like this.

Couldn't agree more. It seems to me either canopies should be totally enclosed or not allowed. Being semi-enclosed and restrained must be the worst of all possible worlds.

Thoughts of Hameed Buhaleeba at Cowes 1995 come to mind. I was racing that weekend and I saw his boat being towed in and lifted out of the water. It's not something I'd like to see again.
