Bobby Decosta and Chris Wells powered D13 to Victory in the Annual Round the Island Powerboat Race in a record breaking time of 42:29.
Following the race Decosta spoke about the race saying, “The North Shore was pretty calm, I was going to sort of hang back and let everyone go, once I realized we had the speed right from the word go, I just took control of the race.”
“South Shore was a bit rough, I realized we were making good time we were going 78/80 miles an hour. Once I realized we could push it I decided to go ahead and try and break the record, which we did,” concluded Decosta.
