Our year on the kitchen chalkboard! From White Lightning to ABsolute Weapon. Rallies to Championships. E1 for Duncan and Southampton Boat Show for Emily.

Emily will paint over this tomorrow and start afresh. Lots of plans for 2026 - let's see if we can achieve them 😍

Not the one that turned us into a submarine but nearly.....

Thanks John!

Rough day out there today for Exe Powerboat & Ski Club Boxing Day Rally.

We gave it everything we could right from the start. We very, very nearly made the whole 25minutes. But unfortunately the length of our hull was just too small for the conditions. We stuffed straight through a massive wave and rather a large amount of water stopped us dead in our tracks, it lead to a squeaky bum moment when we suddenly realised we had a mobile swimming pool.

Safety towed us in and we managed to get the water pumped out 'by hand' and recovered the boat. Phew!

Emily has suffered a smashed helmet, lost a Go-Pro and a gained a cracking black eye.

Sea 1 - Absolute Weapon 0
But lots learned. And we deffo know the boat can handle the rough.

A Very Merry Christmas from our team to yours 🎄

Here's to 2026, a season in ABsolute Weapon and possibly some interesting changes. In the meantime here is our 2025 Christmas photo - no expense spared on this professional photo 😂

Driving Home For Christmas....

🌊Weather and sea conditions were too bad to go testing this weekend as planned so we updated the racesuits instead.

Fingers crossed this wet and windy weather decides to move on so we can get out before Boxing Day!

We've got some space for some new sponsors/supporters - if you're interested in some space on the boat and clothing + some promotions and socials presence then get in touch to chat 👍

Aiming to be out for Exe Powerboat & Ski Club Boxing Day Rally. Come down and watch!

The trailer saw a bit of attention today with the bunk having a fix and the axle a move backwards. Gave the engine a bit of a tick over too.

Getting in some last minute prep before boxing Day!
