Read all about it below …
(more…)Flanders Offshore Racing Team will be racing in the Technohull Seadrug 688. It is one of the fastest RIBs in its class. Technohull is known for their leading innovation in the luxury boat industry.
With the 688 they made one of the most agile boats that exist. However this 688 is one of 2 race boats they have ever made. This one specifically was specially built for the 24 hours of Sint-Petersburg.
This is also the only boat that was made with epoxy instead of polyester, hand crafted deck. What this means is that this is a one of build raceboat.

(more…)“Last weekend saw the Poole Bay 100 race return and what a great weekend it was.
I worked alongside Blastoff Racing and Team A-21 Racing to collect some content over the weekend.
This 15 minute short includes interviews from the Blastoff team, onboard footage of both powerboats as well as a collection of content from the event.
You really don’t understand what these guys go through during a race until you see some of the onboard footage, huge respect to everyone involved
Already looking forward to the next race…”

The people at Ribeye thought they would start 2021 right by taking the ”ALL BLACK’ racing.
“Sales Director, Ross Chivers at the helm and Twin Brother/Operations Director, Danny Chivers acting as navigator.
Running out of Exmouth Seafront the All Black performed beautifully and managed to be first over the finish line and with our lap time being the third most consistent.
A really cool way to showcase the Ribeye Flagship just up the coast from where it is designed and manufactured by the Ribeye team in Dartmouth, UK.
Special credit goes to Exmouth Powerboat & Ski Club for running such a safe and well-organised event during the current climate.
Team Ribeye must also give praise to the Yamaha team whose continued support with our products has allowed us to further enhance our performance of the boats year on year.
Prior to this rally event, we achieved a new refined setup which allowed the All Black to hit 59 knots, which without this top-end capability would have meant we would have been further down the field on New Years Day.”
