Tom and Pal did a great job and secured valuable points today by winning the first round of the Australian superboat series 2010. They got a okay start with second place on the first turn. After second turn the mercury V8 powered "Aegean" was in the lead. They managed to keep the lead for the rest of the one hour long race.
Pal says: A near perfect day for us when everything worked well. After the start i was thinking we had choosen a wrong setup, but half a lap later we where happy with our choice. Maritimo 15 was in front on the first pin, but we managed to past them in the quite rough sea outside. After that we held the boat in the lead untill the flag dropped. Many boats stopped by mechanical faliure, but its a good feeling that we won after working our way into the first place at the starting lap when everybody was still running. Many thanks to all the crew and particularly Tom this weekend for a great job. I also want to thank Bill and Lesley Barry-Cotter, who made my participation possible.
