Kathleen and her Dad began racing in 2009. They drove 1 boat: Kathleen drove in the Y class and Jeff drove in the S class. The type of engine they had allowed them to do this. On several occassions though, one would damage the boat and that would knock the other one out of their next race. Neither of them liked that.

For the 2012 season we purchased another boat that fit Jeff better. They both ran against each other in the Y class, Y76 and Y16. At the end of the season the orange boat was pretty torn up and the hull actually twisted like a pretzel.

For the 2013 season, we sidelined the orange boat and purchased another boat for Kathleen to drive. Only the Y16 ran this season as we did not have enough time to fix the Y76 from when he lost his sponson. We were very happy with how the season ended. Our last race was in Celina and we came in third. It was awesome!!

Looking forward to the 2014 season and hoping to have both boats up and running.
