Revolution Racing

A solid day on the water Sunday, putting the boat through its paces!

A big thanks to Firmhelm Ltd for the lifting and constant support - really appreciate it!

And a big thanks to Kim Jobson-Bird for capturing some cracking shots of the boat in action.

Thanks to everyone who came down to watch, including the spectators who grabbed some great shots from the shore. 👊

Bring on the next one! 🏁

We’re incredibly proud to be officially announced as an entry in this year’s Cowes–Torquay–Cowes one of the most prestigious and demanding offshore powerboat races in the world.

A huge thank you to the British Powerboat Racing Club for the warm welcome and feature on our team.

To be lining up alongside some of the biggest names and most experienced teams in offshore racing is a real honour. We have enormous respect for every competitor on the start line and can’t wait to take on the challenge.

The countdown is officially on. We’ll be giving it everything we’ve got and we’re looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported Revolution Racing so far your encouragement means everything.

See you on the start line.

CTC Entry No 5
1-33 REVOLUTION

Owner/Throttles: Daniel Griffith
Driver: Richard Buckley

50ft Victory
Engines: 2 x Sterling 1085hp

This beautiful 50ft Victory cat will be competing in the 120 max permissible category against veterans of the CTC Drew Langdon and Miles Jennings in 1-47 Silverline, 5x winners of this historic event.

They will also be head to head with the 2025 CTC winners Rob Lockyer and USA’s Tim Linden in 1-25 Good Boy Vodka.
Both REVOLUTION and GBV have a 10ft advantage hull length over the favourites Silverline… and of course this monster catamaran has a successful history of its own with previous owners.

The bigger the boat, the smoother the ride, the less risk of damage (so it’s said) the more likely both man and machine hold together in what can be treacherous seas.

However, there is no other team on the water that know the course as well as Silverline. If you removed the current GPS systems from all boats and we returned to the old fashioned compass. All bets would be on the expert navigation of team Silverline, with a combined pedigree in racing of around 💯 years.

But as it stands, for the 65th year of this marathon event of 211miles, there are many contenders in the mix and all equally capable of winning the Cowes Torquay Cowes. Good luck to all teams!
More entries to follow…

A warm welcome to the new team: 1-33 REVOLUTION
