Offshore RC powerboat racing (Southampton, UK)
dominicm:
Have to admit that this is not something I was aware of until very recently...but in my quest to broaden my YouTube channel to all things RC I found the Offshore Model Racing Association (OMRA). I contacted them and they invited me down to their most recent racing event in Southampton. Despite the bumpy conditions there was some close racing and I think I captured the flavour of what it was all about.

SailorGreg:
Great video. Looks like fun if a little nerve-wracking!
derekwarner:
Love the launch method...hope they use a kill switch prior to the lift out after the race.......................
dominicm:
Like any petrol/gas engine powered model, yes, kill switch is mandatory.
Next vid. Richard, an OMRA Member, gives me some insight into what is involved in offshore RC powerboat racing.

Great video, but for those who can do without the thumping noise, there's also a 'quiet version':
