What do the 3 crew do in offshore powerboat racing ? Presumably one steers, one does the throttle - is the third a navigator ? - or is s/he a spare for when the helm/throttle person gets knackered ?
Elfnsafety Officer.Back in the 70s there was a short programme about powerboat racing... anyone remember 'Avenger Too'?

Nice to see you carry the DS link through the thread.
Most gracious but you overestimate me - I have no idea what 'DS' is...NB Freeman may have to be replaced with something bigger and newer next year...
558 - CUV = Don Shead design
Avenger Too - Avenger = Don Shead design
Although some will claim a Levi influence on the Avenger I believe it is generally accepted that Don raced Levi designs upto the point he designed his own Avengers and went on to design probably more british raceboats than any other along with Sunseekers, Revengers etc
Now as homework tonight I want you to research the link between ABO ABO2 and D2S. As a hint it involves omelettes.
And if you want something a little bigger but retaining that bit of history may I suggest sir looks at one of these.
