GP21 Krusader

It's almost that time again.. R2 of the Lucas Oil Australia Hydroplane National Drivers Championship is just over six weeks away with Glenmaggie set to host the final of the 2026 season on October 03-04, with these two looking to see if they can make any impact on points leader and reigning Champion, Grant Harrison 👊🇦🇺🏁

So the last couple of days have kept us busy collecting launch and retrieval pontoons. These should make up six jetties to hopefully enhance the running of the GDBC race meetings. Another piece of the puzzle done.

Today’s effort was all about working against mother nature. She makes the edge of the lake disappear and I’ve put it all back again so as not to lose our facilities. Cleaning out the ramps from all the silt that washes up and reinstating the foreshore to make it right for next year.

I got to hang out with this fella over the weekend.
Andy from AF Accessories provided a demo of his communication system over the weekend, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Using his expertise and knowledge, he delivered a fantastic setup that we would confidently recommend to anyone. His keenness and enthusiasm for working with powerboat racers is second to none.

Well, what a weekend it was—the trials and tribulations of racing a GP hydroplane. I have to thank Ben Swan and the rest of the crew for all the hard work they did to keep this boat going all weekend. It was one thing after another, all small issues that could have kept me off the water.

They worked their bums off, and I’m so thankful to have them as a crew. To the rest of the family that came up, I appreciate your support. I appreciate having you there—without the whole team, I’ve got nothing.

The racing was absolutely incredible and awesome to watch. In all the years I’ve watched powerboat racing, I’ve never seen anything as spectacular as what I witnessed on the weekend.

We will now take the winter off, reassess, fix up some problems, and be ready for next year. Thanks to everyone who supports us and looks after us—I truly appreciate it. Thank you.

So here we go! Griffiths cup is upon us
Hopefully a safe and successful weekend for all. Thanks to all volunteers and VSBC members for putting on such a massive effort for us to show off at. A very special thank you to Babcon cranes for supplying two cranes to put us in. Your kindness and support does not go unnoticed and we are all very lucky to have you involved. Thank you!
