David Selley and Jordan Fletcher speak after the race:
Cannot be prouder of our neighbours the “Selley Boys” and BOTH Jordans! Well done guys, all those late night trials and working non stop in the pouring rain really paid off!!!
It is truly in the blood – what a great birthday present!!!
Go Paddock Drive!!!
Congratulation to everyone completing the race; especially David and Mark Selley who now each have a victory under their belts. You bies’ are a real chip off of the old bloc Mark Sr. (as well, a perfect example of twins in’it?:-))
Mike Henderson should have won it on corrected time!
What amazing men out there this yr braving those waters. Glad all are safe
Burnt House posseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
Vonny you won d S class!!!!!
Cousin Stevie holding it down in D class. Bless up from the chest up cuzzie. We love and support you 100%
We need a tech inspectors to start checking these B class motors.Running like D class motors no wonder they made a statement on the BPBA fourm that they have something for the D class boats. SMH!!!!
It would be better if this class was made for
All stock 150 hp outboards with no modifications.
Anyway . The BPBA is just allowing anything now
Just to make up the numbers.
That was FB, stock 150hp EFI/DFI outboards.
I always enjoy this event – was a lot of excitement to see the Craft jumping in and out of the semi rough water at high speeds.
My Friends from upstate New York thourally enjoyed it , they don’t see powerboat Racing were they come so they come here to see it.
We were near some visitors from Boston who have never seen power Boat Racing either. – the diference is my
friends come here twice a year for the Bermuda Day Parade and the Annual Bermuda Round the Island Race.
They love it.
It’s time for the Round the Island Race to become a International event.-
Congradulations to the Sellys who crossed the finsh line First.- to me and my friends, all the drivers are winners.
congrats guys ……you won it having to drive your a** off ! well done.
CONGRATULATIONS David and Mark..!! YOU ROCKED The Round The Island Race BIGTIME..under UNBELIEVABLY ROUGH Conditions..!! TRUE PROS..!!! Well Done..!!
Got ‘em Goslings!!
So proud of my grandsons David and Mark!! Conditions couldn’t have been rougher!! Congratulations to you both! To Dad Mark too!!!
I”m not surprised Mrs Selley
Craig and Mark were well known power boaters
before there off springs got into it -
were waiting for Craig to start up
The new P1 class in Bermuda
Congratulations
Congrats to Don & Don Jr. =) SO proud of you guys. Been champions though!
once again the D class got the raw end of the deal. BPBA need to come correct especialy when a purse is invovled. Please check the time laps between B and D class. Make it right and publish it. I understand that the radio between the pace boat and the starter was not working.
WHEN WILL D187 CATCH A BREAK. BPBA GET IT RIGHT or your gonna kill the sport. Congrates to all class winners and you all are to be commended on braving the elements.
