A Cowes-Torquay motoring link

Nearly a quarter of the finishers in this year’s Cowes-Torquay-Cowes Powerboat Race were Fairey Marine production diesel cruisers and the boat which finished second in the Production class of this 236-mile race was “Seven-o-Seven” owned by Alex Moulton of BMC suspension and bicycle fame. It has twin Ford Sabre diesel engines and was piloted by Peter Twiss.
