The past seven days have been remarkable, not just in the sheer quantity of high-performance marine world news but in the substance of the stories themselves. Outerlimits Offshore Powerboats made headlines with three new catamarans, one complete and two close to being there. For the first time in its short history, the Rock The River Cincy Fun Run opened and close registration on the same day. And event producer—Race World Offshore and Professional Racing Offshore—left the American Power Boat Association event-sanctioning fold. So much happened in the past seven days that you may have missed a few stories. Here’s your chance to catch up.
