Power Boat Racing made a spectacular return to the Bartica Easter Regatta on Sunday with Rundy Belle stealing the spotlight to be crowned overall champion in the A-Class Formula One category.
Belle was simply outstanding aboard the ‘Team Belle’ boat, powering to victory in all three A-Class Formula One races in front of a massive crowd.
By virtue of an unblemished day of racing, Belle was named overall champion, carting off a trophy and G$500,000, in addition to G$150,000 each for the three victories.
Notably, eight-time champion Dave Scott encountered engine problems with his boat, named Jaguar, in the very first race of the day and had to pull out of the competition.
The B Class (115-200HP) was won by Whitney Welcome, who amassed an overall 14 points, while the C Class (75-90HP) was taken by Sanjay Ramkisson, who accumulated 20 points.
The D Class (25-40HP) produced joint-winners in R. Dookie and Samuel Ramkissoon, while Samuel Mourlie won the E Class (15HP).
Below are the summarised results of the day’s races.
