Drew Langdon and Miles Jennings steered their Mercury powered Outerlimits hull Silverline to more Cowes Torquay Cowes success today.

The pair from the West Country in England have won the event in 2018, 2019, 2021 and today using the same boat and engine combination.

They also set the course record speed last year, however, Langdon and Jennings encountered far more challenging conditions today and averaged 67.72 mph.
