The Douglas Skater ‘Fairview Windows and Doors’ has greeted the chequered flag to register its second 100-mile win in the 2009 Rayglass NZ Offshore Powerboat championships.
Competing in fine conditions at Maraetai, south-east of Auckland, ‘Fairview Windows and Doors’, with veteran driver Ted Taiatini making a comeback after a 10-year absence to join throttleman and co-owner Warren Lewis, enjoyed a relatively incident free race.
‘Cure Kids’ (Tony Coleman and Chris Handley) came in second with ‘A1 Homes’ (formerly ‘Fairview Windows and Doors’ in 2008) third with Scott Lewis and Murray Tuffin aboard.
