  • Arguably one of the more dangerous motorsports of them all. It is race day at the 2024 Riverland Dinghy Derby in Renmark, South Australia and it's going to be a scorcher with temperatures expected to get to 43ºC/109ºF. This is going to be a hot one..... Andrew and Tahlia steer their 3.15m tinny with a 30hp Yamaha around the creeks of Renmark to secure a 2nd place in the 30hp Standard class. 4 laps complete the 100km course.
    Huge thank you to our sponsor Level Electrical & Data Riverland!

Look closely and you will see that there are several times when she gives the driver a definite signal about making a sudden correction - and that she does so a moment before the driver is able to see what she sees (perhaps this is sometimes because his view is partly blocked, but still, those signals were KEY factors a few times).

And Tahlia, OMG, she was all "one with the boat!" Hands, Feet, Up Front, Get Back! This is not the first time these two have navigated this course. Every turn, Every tree in the middle of the creek, Every half-submerged log or stump, Every low-hanging limb, They knew it was coming...Not their first rodeo!! Well Done!!
