You may have noticed the addition of a new logo at the top of the page and are wondering why….well with excitement mounting for the 2013 Venture Cup Marathon (Cowes to Monte Carlo) there is a very good reason that we are proud to display their logo….

The first being that club members Markus Hendriks and Nick Wilkinson have entered this epic 2400 mile escapade! Markus with a new boat which is currently in design and build stage subject to embargo and Nick has entered that most famous of marathon craft HTS ex Apache…..

 

It appears Nick has more or less everything in place for the rebirth of HTS.. She has recently been visited by Perkins engineers and marketing personnel to be measured up for her new engines, her mechanical installation will be carried out under the watchful eye of original team member Mike Bellamy of Lancing Marine. We can also now confirm that Jonathan Napier he of MISS DAISY fame will be a crew member on board this famous entrant.

As for Markus and the Cinzano Team we will endeavour to find out his plans and keep everyone up to date on developments.

The Committee and members of COPC would like to pass on their very best wishes to both teams plus of course to Mike Lloyd and his merry men our full support for what will probably be the best Powerboating year since the glory days of the Cowes Torquay!
