Nigel Hook SBI 2013 Key West 33rd Annual World Championships 2013.11.10

The 77 Lucas Oil SilverHook competed in what is arguably the best-known race site in the world -- Key West, during the 33rd Annual Key West World Championships -- taking second on Wednesday, second on Friday, and second on Sunday to earn second place overall in the Superboat Extreme class.
Thanks to the impeccable prep work of our team, we had a perfectly running boat for all three races. During Wednesday's race, we had the lead with the Outerlimits behind us, but then we got ourselves boxed in trying to overtake three super cats on the outside which allowed the Outerlimits to slip past us on the inside, forcing us to settle for a 2nd place" said Hook. "Water conditions went flat on Friday and Sunday and although our boat will out accelerate the other boats in 2-footers and above, it is simply underpowered in the flat. It just wasn't our water this year. "
The official entry list recorded over 40 boats participating and the Super Boat International live streaming saw record numbers with over 30,000 visits from 103 countries. Belgium, Malta, Qatar, Netherlands, Australia, Italy and Puerto Rico each had over 100 visits. Bermuda, Trinidad, Germany, Sweden and Norway had over 300 visits each; Canada had over 700 visits; and the United Kingdom exceeded 1000 visits just to name a few.
