Maurizio Schepici has recruited two British racers to help him in his quest to win the coveted Cowes Torquay Cowes race next weekend.

Schepici from Messina in Italy will have Gareth Williams and Glynn Norvall with him in the Seatek powered Metamarine hull during the 183.90 NM non-stop offshore race.

Williams won in 2012 (above) with Vee Ganjavian, while Norvall’s father competed in the classic race back in the 1960’s.
