No, we had the first one, it had bravos. Nigel had 6's and a lower deck. We had them covered too but bad luck got us, Hit something 1st race, cleaned there clocks 2nd but crowded a boat in a turn got 1 minute penalty, And marched again but we blow the couplings out of it in the third. The fastest boat doesn't always win.

I am sure you must have a video of that too... But I know all too well how good digital video editing is today...

So what boat manufacture won the race?

You should also bear in mind, some of these guys run in open cockpits & harnesses are not allowed...

For safety reasons, they have come up with the average speed of 87 mph over the entire length of the race.

Seems reasonable to me.
