Yes – you heard it … some of the Powerboat P1 just went past us in Ventnor (complete with helicopters) only 25 minutes after they set off from Cowes! Makes the sailing Round the Island look like snails, doesn’t it?
If you didn’t hear it, we got a couple of recordings of it, for your pleasure.
First the Evolution class

You’ll here one of the later boats had some problems with their engine misfiring.
