Its so sad that this ended. I live in Torquay and once a year they bring a few powerboats down to make a noise and go up and down the bay - but thats as much as they do now. IT seems they just let all our British traditions just fade away - because they 'offend' some idiot. This used to bring INTERNATIONAL money and boats to the UK and with it LOTS of people and income! This country is in enough mess now with the Red 'commy' pary robbing everyone blind again. Its time to take back OUR country and restore the family values and pastimes we used to love! Then maybe we can make Keir 'what a joke' starmer walk the plank!

The risks drivning there😢 I would never dare.... But really Great to see it. Thanks!!!

Colibri was racing at circa 80mph. Todays class 1 boats routinely race at 120mph and above, conditions permitting. Safety is much improved

Fighter Canopies were introduced following this tragedy

No comments, I thought we were a nation of sailors. Well I for one I think Power boat racing is spectacular.

Qué gran dolor para Carolina y su familia creo está gran madre jamás se pudo recuperar

My Dad - Jim Cox was navigator with Neil Holmes

I was there

You can't even spell his name right?

Bertram FTW!

wow

Such a wonderful year for Offshore Powerboating. Some of the great times in Offshore. The great Charles Burnett III. Sadly missed and R.I.P. Sarah Donahue, always the best!! Xxx

Stefano was a good-looking guy "whew" 👀

I do wish here In the USA the super boat or unlimited class had the variety of engine setups like in class 1. From big 8liter NA v12s, straight 6 turbo diesels, NA BBC v8s, Turbo H12 small displacement engines. Popeyes had 6 2.5 2stroke v6’s with 2 surface drives. And a lot of boats until the mid 90s had 4 NA or blown v8s with 2 surface drives or 4 outdrives. But no homegrown Diesels, no turbo engines at all. Mainly only NA BBC’s. Then in the mid 90s. Blower technology caught up with EFI and coolers so high compression NA motors were replaced with blown 1000-1500hp in the unlimited class. For years and years. 800ish was the most a single NA v8 could make reliably. The v12s too weren’t getting over 750/800. America didn’t believe in diesels since they were so heavy. The late 90s did bring an American to race a buzzi/fountain with a pair of 750/800hp seatek’s. But that only lasted a couple of years before the team moved into a big cat. But boy did he run a yell of a season or 2. Especially that first race for the boat down in key west at the end of the year. Really surprised the rest of the super vee unlimited boats. Firewater, muscle, instigator, fountain, Ohio steel, inxs. All those big power fountains, A scarab, a few apaches left. Got shown up by a boat with one less engine but the weight of not more then the 3 engine boats. Powering through the rough without issue. I can not for the life of me remember the name of the team Smh

Loved watching this and was surprised at the old course they used to run.

RIP Don Shead

Mi papá compitió en el 73, lancha 222. Qué joya!

Sadly passed away this week at 87. What a hero though! his work with Sunseeker was legendary.

Llegaban hasta Zihuatanejo, guerrero

Lucky Strike was a 47' Apache, not 45'. Apache made a 41' and a 47' and they were both rough water monsters.

Perfect conditions for CESA

Lady Aitken doesn't want it rough!! Wonder if any of those boats still exist? My ears pricked up when I heard one them had 4 Jag E Type engines! I bet not all of them were still running at the end!

luv it🤙❣️..( with a nice tune😁)

Tragic what happened to the two rivals

Amazing filming for the time, Great to watch again.

Che tempi, che anni❤

No sound? Which Seatek engine did he use for this run?

Fascinating history. Dad had a policy with FAM but fortunately never made a claim. Our family NHS GP knew Savundra personally and sometimes crewed his boats. I think I saw him in one scene.

Alan Burnard got the inspiration for his designs from Ray Hunt who originated the " deep Vee" concept for fast cruising boat hulls. Burnard had a lot of help from Ray Hunt initially. Ray Hunt's designs are still in production with a few updates.

Excellent film. Thanks for the memories.

Ken in the final,scene showing shades of Max Cady from Cape Fear.

His wife wasn’t very supportive, I wonder if they are still together?

My dad boat no. 325 at 8.35 ❤ Seahunter 11

These boats look gorgeous 😊

My dads was 235 ❤ at 13.08 Seahunter ❤

Whoever made this video and added the shit muic in place off roaring powerboat racing engines, shoud have been dragged behind the fastest boat all the way to Torquay and back in the 1977 race.

Dick..mounted the flag the wrong way. Not good omen.

Excellent video, thank you

Which episode is this?

Karma

Thank you so much for sharing this

Me tocó ver esa competencia era un mocoso o como dicen los calentamos un wuache soy de Coatzacoalcos Veracruz y me fui a tierra caliente siguiendo una chiquilla que me invitó a conocer por esos rumbos Altamirano Coyuca san Miguel Teloloapan Huetamo uf bellos recuerdos de mi infancia

great video, I grew up in New Brighton, my brother in law, John Wilkinson, raced powerboats in the 1960s thanks for posting.

* no steering link between between drives is odd ?! GOD Bless

I was Don Shead’s secretary he was a wonderful man to work for.

What ? Where a the engines? Where is the sound of the Cesa 1882? Why the stupid music?

He basically killed his two teammates because he diest like bring second. Rot in he'll murderer

Really nice video, do you have more videos of the Grand Prix offshore world championship of 1992 in ostend? i bought a boat with a sticker of the grand prix in 1992 and i would love to see it in one of these videos! thanks again!

Woulda, shoulda, coulda...!

04:32, It's not a difficult question at all. The only way that would never have happened, would have been if he had never got in that boat; which he did. Didier was racer and it was what it was..
