Looking after this website gives me a huge privilege.

I am sent stories, reports and photographs from all of the Powerboat Racing events in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

The privilege extends further, stakeholders within the sport call me with their concerns and views.

I have used this powerful medium in a neutral way, to support and promote a sport that I have been involved with for 37 years.

This weekend I am organising 2 Offshore Powerboat races outside of the RYA / UIM jurisdiction in Poole.

As a former Futures Broker in the City of London, my best customers: JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs would have walked away on Day 1, had I managed their accounts in a similar way to the Governing Bodies of Powerboat Racing.

Wish us luck – It can’t get any worse.
