for offshore and closed circuit competition, but nevertheless entertained the few thousand spectators that crowded Ferry Reach.

Andy Stoneham, who last year retired from the racing scene, made a cameo appearance in Class C as pilot for Craig Burt and they emerged victorious.

Stoneham was only in action as a trial run for Burt who bought the boat from him. The pair held off Michael Araujo and Eugene Bothelo with Craig Nisbett finishing third and Mark Fuhrtz and Eddie Skater were fourth.

There were only two entries in Class B where Jason Pimental got the better of Ian Whitehead.

Class D was dominated by Patrick Stamper. He was followed by Clyde Boorman and Chris Franks.

The offshore course took the racers from buoy 22 to Clay House Inn, buoy 18 and back to Ferry Reach. There were four laps for classes C and D and three for Class B.

Closed circuit racing in the SST 45 Class saw Steve Moniz emerge as the overall winner. Scott Johnson was second with Sean Tavares third.
