Not sure yet. Still have this year's to survive. Liverpool UK for the final event 29th and 30th this month if you fancy it. If you can get ITV4 in UK they are going out every other saturday at the moment. Next in two weeks is Lowestoft.
Hi, have reached over 66mph so far as the boat is still new to us. Under RYA rules only boats with canopies have seat belts. If the boat is open cockpit as in this design, you have to be thrown out for safety! :-) There were a few guys in Lowestoft that experienced that feeling, fortunately not us but I guess our time will come. Watch out for Cowes Grand prix next weekend. Rich.
But what about the boats right behind you? You will get run over if you're unlucky. I've only rolled once in a small boat , you have absolutely no control until you stop. And since there are so many boats in your class, I would vote for canopies next year. What does the boats w/o engine cost?
Tell me about it...it is probably the biggest fear of anyone who does open top. I just missed Marcel the Power of Dreams Germany Navigator in the Isle of Mann Grand Prix! But heck it is all part of the adrenalin rush. As for cost I believe Cougar publish the whole list on their site. Cougar-powerboats.
Now THATS what I'm talking about!!
THATS racing!
Looks and sounds like you had some great fun out there!!
I raced, also with my (now) wife 6-7 years ago, and we are SOOO keen to get back into it!
Just a small matter of getting the business up and running steadily now, and getting some sponsors..
Thoroughly enjoyed that one!
Thanks!

What speeds do you reach with that one, and why don't you use canopies and seat belts?
