Some of the team have just arrived in Kyrgyzstan for the next round of the F1H2O series. They are taking a rest before the hard work begins. Safe travels to those still travelling and a safe week to all involved.

Thank you Powerboat News.

Shaun Torrente, on the sponson of his Victory Team DAC in Cagliari harbour this afternoon, with the Osprey Powerboat Rescue Team.

Osprey have been at the heart of F1H2O safety for many years.
Founded in 1967 by divers from Stafford Sub Aqua Club after they attended a 24-hour powerboat race at Chasewater in the UK, they have since established themselves as one of the leading rescue teams in world powerboat racing.

Torrente patted his DAC hull after the incident to thank it for holding together and keeping him safe.

In December 2023 in Sharjah, he had another big accident and modern safety in a circuit boat saved him - his boat was clipped by a rival and he left the circuit on a stretcher.

He sat out the entire 2024 season. When he returned in 2025 and won his fourth world title, he said at the podium: "780 days ago, I left this place on a stretcher. I didn't want my career to end that way."

Today was a reminder of how safe these boats are now, and how good the people in the rescue teams are.
