The Spray Flew At Monaco

The powerful 16ft 6in, deep vee-bottomed boat (to be named 'Ply -lite En Bee'), driven by Tony Shuttleworth, won the Monaco Boat Club's handicap race, recently. Driven along by its 140hp outboard motor, and expertly driven by Shuttleworth, the boat overcame its handicap to win from Peter Beatson and Bernie Byers. The under 50hp class was won by Peter Skinner.
