This coming Thursday the Bermuda Power Boat Association will be having their final registration meeting for the race. According to officials, this year’s power boat race will see line honors reintroduced [first across finish]. In addition first in class is also on the cards. Weather will play a major factor for the race as, if the wind is too high, it will likely have to be postponed.
There will be a staggered start as follows:
- A Class: 2:00pm
- B Class: 2:07pm
- C Class: 2:14pm
- D Class: 2:17pm
- S Class: 2:20pm
Hope the congested areas, and the people that think they should be directly in the paths of the boats are better policed this year.
