Two new records were set during this afternoon’s [Aug 12] Around-The-Island Powerboat Race, with Anthony and Andy Stoneham the fastest boat around the course with a new record time of 33 minutes and 35 seconds.

Brothers Tonka and Stacey Simpson powered FB55 across the line first in a time of 47:10 which is a new FB class record, while class winners Mackie Wilson and Graham Sutherland in D5 crossed the line second in a time of 43:27. Bobby DeCosta and Chris Wells were third across the line in 43:40, despite hitting a wave and coming into contact with a pylon during the race.

S class winners Anthony and Andy Stoneham set a new course record when they powered S22 to a finishing time of 33.35, while Steven Bridges and Aaron Sims were fifth across the line in 33:45. B class winners Mark Selly and Jordan Every were next across the line in B707 clocking an overall time of 52:11, and E class winners Shayne Furbert and Ryan Rebello powering E324 were seventh boat across the line clocking 47:46.
