67.3 knots

Powerboat team ready for record attempt

Ingrid Abery was onboard the Bradstone Challenger, a Bladerunner 51, on Thursday, during which the boat was put through some final trials before the team's attempt on the Round Britain and Ireland powerboat speed record. Yes SOG is 67.3 knots...

The crew - Neil McGrigor, Tony Jenvey and Jeremy Watts, are now on stanby in Hamble. One can only imagine what Jean-Luc van den Heede will think if the Bradstone Challenger comes past during his lap of the Isles.
