Giancarlo Cangiano, the gregarious owner of the Italian Powerboat P1 OSG Outerlimits Team got some good press in Italy with his new 43’ Super Leggera which he annually “flies” under the SNAV sponsorship. SNAV is a large ferry boat that connects the mainland of Italy with the surrounding islands. He is pictured with Han Bohinc, a burly Austrian who will drive the Evolution Class boat with Cangiano at throttles in the 2009 Powerboat P1 season.

The Italian team will be competing against America’s own APBA/SBI World Champions, Joe Sgro and Nigel Hook, who will alternate throttle duties with Mike Fiore, owner of Outerlimits Powerboats, who also owns APBA World Champion records. Stay tuned as the Powerboat P1 2009 season opens next week in Malta.
