Back in April we attended a test session for Peter Bonham Christie's 1968/9 'Apache'. A lot of the test was about moving weight fore and aft to see what difference it made - hecne the blck bags on the deck. Crew - Dan Howe and Casper Bradley.

Saturday didn’t turn out quite as expected 🤷‍♂️

However, due to the incredible work, support and dedication of everyone who came to our aid, we were able to save her from a total loss 👍

I want to extend a huge thank you to anyone that was a part of that process on Saturday. Never once did we feel in danger and when everything kicked into gear, it worked out in the end 👌

Now it’s over to team Apache to do her proud and get her racing again 🌊🚤💨

Another awesome @ukopra_official race!

After declaring it a rough weather race meaning the shorter course was used I had high hopes for some serious airtime shots but having got out there, it wasn't too bad. Good for my aching body but not for the photo's.... Still chuffed with what I got and definitely some of my favourite drone shots to date of @apacheoffshore555 who's race didn't end so well after they hit something splitting the hull and sunk! A fantastic effort from all the crew, marshal boats and other competitors meant she's now back on dry land.

A massive congratulations to the Smokin Aces team in the beautiful Skater with a long overdue win.

By far my favourite moment though was being buzzed by @attitudecharterandmedia Tim who managed to blag a pretty epic water taxi onboard the best looking and best sounding rib there is, Blastoff! His face says it all!
