Naval Warfare! The final race for the Super Vee class title at the Key West World Championship briefly turned into naval surface warfare between the French and English on Sunday. But when the spray cleared, the English boat -- Lucas Oil -- emerged the victor.

  • huh? Racing in shorts and T-shirt?

  • It gets very hot in the cockpit and US racing does not have the same firesuit requirements that the European racing has. I've seen some racers run in tank tops and barefoot! We are seperated from the engines by a firewall and if there is a fire we jump into the water. Thanks for watching!

    Cheers, Nigel

  • But, requirements vs. common sense. I thought anyone with a sensible mind would wear a firesuit, racing life jacket etc etc. That would help you if you crash. But make more vids without music, the engine is music enough :)

  • Most US races are in Florida where it is over 100 degrees daytime. None of my boats have air conditioning (weight) and cockpit tempatures can reach 117 degrees! I leave the pits with a bag of ice on my lap (melted by green flag) and frozen water is placed inside the air ducts to circulate and cool the cockpit. I have had heatstoke in Sarasota. In 30 years racing, I've never heard of anyone burning up! I'm racing European P1 and looking forward to cold weather racing!

  • FOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!! but skrew the french

  • Fountain is our main competition and a great boat to beat!

    Cheers, Nigel

see all
