Bacchanal, Ironman impress at Powerboat regatta

The boat of the day belonged to Bacchanal of the Trinity Offshore Race Team, driven by Wayne Honnock and throttled by Justin Decle. Racing in the 95 mph D Class, Bacchanal was the only boat to win the two sprints and two circuits.

In the 130 mph A Class, Ironman took top honours with three wins and one second place finish, getting the better of Mr Solo Too and Big Thunder. In the 80 mph E Class, Heatwave won two races and earned one second place in another event.

Chris Gone Wild returned to racing with Rick and Ross Garcia, to take the top prize in the 70 mph F Class with two victories.

Trident won the 60 mph G Class over stiff competition from PP Conqueror and Powered by God.

The conditions were the roughest of the season to date. This was evident as one of Extreme Measures engines broke off, and Heatwave suffered cracks in its rear deck.

The TT BPA is grateful to GNC for sponsoring the fourth regatta.
