Britain’s Matt Palfreyman has been testing an F1 Dragon hull at a secret location in England today.

The 2016 UIM F2 European Silver Medalist has made the move up to the pinnacle of World circuit racing with the help of Jon Jones and David Burgess.

Palferyman is hoping to compete at the final 2 F1H2o races of the season, in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

Legendary boat builder and designer Burgess told me today:

I have made plenty of changes to the Dragon hull through last winter.
There are some new innovations that I am very interested to see in action.

Palfreyman, who had a very frustrating season in F2 this year, has put that behind him:

I want to thank Jon and David for believing in me.
Good results in the UAE will be the best way to pay them back.
