Cowes Wins For 66 Racing, Quantum of Solace & DB Marine

John Moore on 26th August 2019

The Cowes Poole Cowes race organised by the British Powerboat Racing Club signalled the final race of the 2019 UKOPRA season.

In the highly competitive Class 3 A/B, Malcolm Dopson and Andy Hiscox in 66 racing prevailed over Barry Culver and Stuart Unwin in a similar Phantom 19g hull.

Dopson and his accomplished navigator Hiscox averaged 59.93 MPH over the 65.70 NM course.

Multispark Race Product made it an all Phantom 19g podium whith Dave Sheldon and Chris Bailey taking third.

66 Racing’s win added to to their success in Guernsey and a third place in Poole gave them the 2019 UKOPRA Championship.

Kevin Burdock and John Donnelly took the win in Class 3N.

They steered their former Powerboat P1 Panther to front ahead of Mark and Andy Childs’ Cougar.

Glynn Norvall was racing with the youngest competitor in the race, Charlotte Camsey.

The duo who teamed-up after meeting at the Asia Powerboat Championship placed third.

Burdock and Donnelly’s win put enough points on the board to hand them the Championship in 3X.

The overall race winners and Class 3N victors were DB Marine with Brian Peedell and Andy Yeo in control.

Peedell, who was also celebrating his 66th birthday, averaged a blistering 69.58 MPH in his Ocke Mannerfelt designed hull.

A second place for Motorvated Canvey, was good enough for the team to walk away with the 3N Championship.

The ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ crew of Paul Buckner, Kerry Bobin, Jason Briggs and Ricky Hill placed in front of another veteran team that were making their return to racing, Clive and Sue Baker in Shadow Warrior.
