Press Review
This is a direct
quote, taken from Ernie Lazenby, Marine Modeller, September 2002.
"The Bananashark Racing Team based in the
UK, races a full size offshore power boat appropriately called the Bananashark,
designed by Lorne Campbell. The boat has been described as a flyer and
is proving to be very successful. The manufacturer of the full size boat
has started to produce a number of 1/9th-scale models of this unique design
and we have one on test. Having built it for serious racing and carried
out some tests all I can say is wow!
It's dimensionally big but it's a flyer and is
very easy to drive.
Having whetted your appetite I will say no more for now but a full report
will be in my next contribution. These days I don't often become too excited
about another boat but this one's different.
Following its first test at the local lake I just
had to punch the air and shout yes! Goodness knows what I will do if it
likes 20 cells with a big brushless motor'.
