Yea i saw that vid its Danny Bells boat ,as for boat races in the uk you better have a look at the OMRA site for dates and venues also there might be some club racing you could check out if you search for clubs in the area your vissiting maybe?.

heres another cool vid from the offshore racing D class (gas),this is the 57" stealth by John Smith who designs and builds these himself.Seems to run like a winner seeing as this was its first race in the sea.

The crash happened when the damaged boat spunout and set off in the wrong direction so was unavoidable by all accounts.As far as i know Danny isnt a member here but hes got a good sense of humour and took it pretty well.Ive told him his fame has spread to that side of the pond so maybe he will show his face and give a first hand account of what happened .Hes allready got a new boat lined up so at least he had an excuse to try something new,heres a link to his new one its a brand new design.
